So, I went on Spring Break this week (technically). I was in Florida with a few friends of mine of vacation. I realize that I have already graduated college and do not technically meet the Spring Break criteria, but I tried my hardest to blend in with the "Frat Lauderdale" crowd. Here are some interesting things I learned in my time in sunny Florida:
1. Pizza (or pete-za) is a very versatile food. Although I was unable to call Mad Mushroom while on vacation, I found several places that sold pizza by the slice. I had pizza for breakfast, lunch, and dinner while on the trip. It was a very economical meal ($3) compared to some of my other splurges.
2. Having a 60 year old man as your wing man could not go well for you. 60 year old men cannot keep their stories straight. Are you the Dad? The friend of the uncle? What is going on? Also, if you graduated high school in 1992, you should not be hitting on someone who graduated in 2003-2006. Not going to go well, dude.
3. There are a lot of tacky beach shops everywhere. Right along the beach (where I was staying, might I add), there were an overwhelming number of tourist trap shops. This is pretty par for the course. However, I noticed that many of the shop owners were of Indian descent. After noted this, I wondered whether or not they knew what any of the t-shirt slogans (mentioning sex, drugs, etc.) meant or if they just buying a standard package of Spring Break attire.
There was some pretty awful stuff in there (including t-shirt slogans I won't mention. (Go to T-Shirt Hell if you need some ideas: ) Also included were pipes for "tobacco" smoking and the like. Apparently, all cultures have an awful view of everyone on vacation. Probably a good call. If you're wondering, my friend picked up a sweet "GTL" shirt that was freshly screen printed.
4. I would like to move to Florida. Okay, maybe not. But, it was a pretty sweet place to vacation. Now, when is the next one?
