There are many strange and wonderful conversations that take place betwixt Mimi and I when we have had a few beers. Today was no exception during our impromptu hang out/ fall clean out of her basement.
Recently we decided that we want to start traveling together. (Never mind the fact that both of us are broke) we enjoy making said plans and even mapping out activities that will probably never see the light of day!
I have suggested visiting London, which I have always felt connected to. (I think I was British in another life) while Mimi wants to visit strange countries such as Brazil, Jamaica, and numerous places in South America. If there is one thing I would like to point out at this point in my diatribe is all of her choices involve countries where the police carry semi-automatic weapons and people frequently disappear into the jungle while I enjoy areas of the world where I feel safe in the fact that the police force wears funny hats.
I have never been fond of foreign government policy or places where small sects of anti-socialists drag you into the jungle and beat you to death. Mimi, on the other hand, finds this to be exciting and a challenge. If there is anyone who could talk these gun toting, non-conformists guerrillas down from their "crazy tree" it would be Mimi. Her only persuasion being, " Hey man, come on down here and have a smoke with me and maybe a shot!" Once they were out of said tree she would convince them to visit the nearest village for a beer and smoke run.
Meanwhile, I plan interesting outings such as visiting a restaurant where you dine in the dark and the maitre d is blind. To which she quickly asks, "Where do you find this shit?" and I reply, "The same place you find all the natives to go on your beer runs!"
During our cleaning spree today I asked what was with all the jungle loving travel and she answered, "I wanna go places where you can see and show skin and it just so happens that those places also believe in carrying semi-automatic weapons."
As much alike as we are she is the adventurous one and I am the "safety girl". She provides the fun and I keep us out of jail!!
