I´ve Tripped, I´ve Stumbled and I´ve Fallen

BUT, I HAVE GOTTEN UP!!!

Tripping
Not sure if it´s related to my foot problem or if I´m just a total klutz. I never had this problem in Playa before.

In the beginning I probably tripped about 10 times a day. Sometimes I walked like a horse. I would lift up my left leg and plop it down loudly. I looked like a dork!

It´s really embarrassing when you trip down 5th Avenue, which is very busy and people are sitting in the outdoor cafe´s and bars watching you.

One day, a guy was whistling at me and I tripped and went flying forward. Isn´t that attractive?

Depth Perception
I don´t think that I have good depth perception. I literally fell into two stores. Luckily I didn´t break anything in the store or on my body. I totally didn´t see that there were stairs and I went flying in. Nothing like making a grand entrance!

The Falls
My first fall was in the courtesy room at the Coba. I had my flip flops on and was headed towards the shower when I practically did the splits and my one leg went behind me. Luckily, I was fine. Then, I went and got dirty towels and spread them out on the floor.

The second fall happened while I was wearing those same flip flops and I bent down to see something at a store, but I was off-balance with my big bags on my shoulders and my foot slipped out from under me. I was so thankful that NO ONE was around. I had to take the bags off my shoulders so I could get back up.

I have a nice big bruise below my left knee, but luckily because of my tan, it´s not very noticeable.

You are hysterical. It's probably time to come home. Sounds like you need another vacation to heal from this one. Have a safe flight back. These events will be great scrapbooking memories.

Oh, yeah! It reminds me of the time on Christmas when I fell down the stairs with a hole box of Fannie May candy.

Will be home soon!
