Mexico - the good, the bad and the ugly

Well, let's start with the good. The condo looks like it will work. It is a great 4 bed 4 bath unit on the 5th and 6th floors. There is private access to a private beach (and we get our own little numbered thatched roof thingy. The price is great and it will make money. WE just need to investigate via a Mexican lawyer or notary (they are different there).

The bad. Well, there was nothing really bad this trip. Ed had a lot of heartburn, but we don't know why. I ate everything and loved it. I think Ed just didn't have enough tequila.

Okay, one other bad thing. The water had big waves that kicked up a lot of sand, so as you body surfed you got sand everywhere. EVERY where (if you know what I mean). Then, to rinse off they had a shower by the bar. You had to ask the bar man to turn it on, and open your suit to try to get the sand out. Everyone (me, other guys, girls) started out just trying to rinse, but that didn't work. Nope, pretty soon you were showering in front of the bar wiping sand out of your ass (or even less fortunate places for the girls) as people drank margaritas and pretended not to watch.

The ugly. Well, this is for mature audiences.

So on Sunday we go to the beach to lay out a little. We start at our beach at the hotel. We move down for drinks to the gay beach. Let us remind you that, it costs money to go to Mexico, so the gay beach is decidedly older than the ones you would picture. Eddie and I were well t the south of the average age. But no big deal. We are sitting, having a bite of food, maybe a little margartia or Corona.

Now on a gay beach, there is always too much flesh. Too many speedos. Often, they look great, more often they look wrong - just wrong. You can imagine that as the average age goes up, the wrongness level does too. Eddie and I wore square cuts. But there was a lot of bad speedos.

We looked, we laughed .. you the basics. And then, well we were stunned.

There was a guy, I am going to say maybe 70, in a red and orange speedo. The sides were red and the back and front were orange, and he stood in profile to us. He had that 70 year old ass. You know, it somehow manages to be droopy - and yet at the same time almost non-existent.

But it was the front that was amazing. This old guy looked like he had stuffed a banana squash down his crotch. It just this big wad of stuff up front. You couldn't miss it. And it wasn't (how to say daintily) "defined", it was just a big wad of flesh. At first, I assumed he had a goiter. But if you have a goiter, do you wear speedos?

Ed said he stuffed, but if so it was his beach towel. Maybe he had been in the sun and heat so long his parts had lost the ability to contract?

I don't know. But in any case there should be a limit to the age at which one can wear a speedo. No matter how in shape they are. And I say, whatever that age is, he has passed it.
