Ahhh...such fond memories! I keep a terrible timeline in my head. Faces I remember and voices stick with me forever, names and time are were always troublesome. I remember when your sexy foot became an object of Barry's desire. I also remember you adamantly instructing me to stay away from Barry in Yalku Lagoon. Even with your admonitions, I forgot to instruct Bobby. So here we are, at said lagoon, he's already in the water tooling around whilst I am still getting my fins on. I see his snorkel come around a corner and he pops his head up. He's yelling through his snorkel and waving frantically! I jump in the water with your voice in my head telling me to watch out for Barry! I'm thinking Bobby and Barry just had a tête-à-tête with who knows what body part! I put my face in the water and look at him since he's not looking at me, just pointing. At what I couldn't tell. I grab him again, make him take his snorkel out of his mouth to tell me what had him so riled! I saw no blood, so it couldn't be that bad, but he proceeds to tell me with great enthusiasm and a big grin that he was face to face with Barry! They were playing tag so to speak. Barry swam to his face and turn around as if telling Bobby to follow. Firefighter and Arson investigator that he was, your 'Barry Story' had no effect on him. Me on the other hand, beat fins out of the water pulling him with me to reiterate your story! Took me about 10 minutes of slowing my heart rate before I got back in the water. I wanted to learn to snorkel and I was wasn't going to let Barry stop me. My head was on a swivel, Bobby next to me keeping an eye on Barry making sure a body part didn't become his snack like your foot.

HA ha ha the misadventures of marine life! Great memories and good stories to tell over a margarita.
I never knew that barracudas would bite, and I didn't know about their attraction to shiny things. Scary stuff for a Mexico buff.
Yes 'cudas love shiny things like jewelry, but yeah they do bite based on the documentary I watched. We learn something new every day.
Thanks for contributing to my knowledge!
I dare you to work this new barracuda trivia into a conversation today. If you do tell us how they reacted. 😉
Too late! My hubby heard about it upon waking. He already knew about 'cudas biting but not about the ban on shiny things underwater.
Awesome! Have a great Sunday, and thanks for reading my story!
