I went through a box of miscellaneous stuff in my office and found our old passports! I have no idea why the US Embassy mailed them directly to that box. OK, I apologize for saying we never received them. Anyway, San Geraldo will make copies of our old passports and we can head back this week to complete the process. What a relief! Coming up with other documentation was turning into a major problem.
Hot Style at the Beach
I was walking on the beach the other day when I spotted someone in the distance who was exposing so much of his hind quarters that he needn't have bothered wearing a bathing suit.
Major plumber's crack (commonly referred to as builder's bum in parts of Great Britain). It's also called "hucha" in Spanish, which is the word for the slot in a piggy bank or vending machine.
Since, as you might remember, I enjoy sharing collected images of huchas (click here and here), I began snapping away. But when I zoomed in I was even more surprised by what I saw.

| THE LATEST IN BEACH FASHION: THE SUIT WITH THE BUILT-IN HUCHA. |
Truth be told, this is just a pocket belt to hold all the loot he finds while metal-detecting. But I'm much more entertained by my own version of reality.
Whew! So glad that you ran across your old passports! I usually think of myself as having a pretty good, and clear, memory, but this happens to me sometimes, too -- just so sure that I remember where I put something, or whether I ever received something or other, etc., and later find out that I was wrong. Yikes :)
ReplyDeleteI much enjoyed yesterday's post about that castle, too... crazy! What a place, though!
Judy:
DeleteAnd Jerry keeps thanking me! I told him it's nice to screw up (I'm the one who tossed them in a box), cause a bunch of stress for us both, and then get credited with saving the day. I'm also famous for putting things in safe places -- safe from even me -- never to be found again.
hee hee hee! I like the term "hucha"; wonder what would happen if you slipped a $20 USD bill into his hucha? ;-b
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteAnd remember the "h" in hucha is silent, so it sounds like "oocha" -- even better! You're awfully generous. I'd prefer to just slip in a small coin, but it would get lost in there.
the fashion is really interesting
ReplyDeleteI find your version of reality pretty entertaining as well.
ReplyDeleteCranky:
Delete"Special" is how it might be described.
Mitch, you CRACK me up!!
ReplyDeleteThe water looks so inviting. Ever go in?
Jim:
DeleteI don't go in often (but I always wade). The water was glorious yesterday.
Looks like a bottle for holding a refreshment ~ ewwwwwwww!!!
ReplyDeleteRon:
DeleteDouble ewwwwwwww!!!!
No fair. I clicked on the post title on my dashboard expecting to see men in BIKINIS or SPEEDOS. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteFrank:
DeleteOh, if I were to let loose and snap and share photos of some of the men on the beach and around town, you'd be moving here in a heartbeat!
I admit when I saw the first photo I thought it would turn out to be an illusion of some sort -- thanks be to WhomEver!
ReplyDeleteAnd glad to hear the old passports turned up.
Michael:
DeleteI did see some real huchas today. We both here were so relieved that I found the passports. Whew!
Life here is so dull compared to your life and observations.... however... we are in the foothills of the Appalachians, and butt crack seems to be a fashion statement here in these here hills....
ReplyDeleteSharon:
DeleteOh, some of the things I see that I can't discreetly get pictures of. Thanks for not sharing what you see there!
Hucha illusion. So glad it wasn't real.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteSo am I. We saw one on the train today that, as I said to Jerry, was less a crack and more a chasm.
That swimsuiti is very misleading from a distance.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteI was shocked until I zoomed in.
Hmmmm. I see what you mean. And close up or distance it's NOT a pretty sight!
ReplyDeleteRay:
DeleteWell, it was at least interesting and surprising.
I keep trying to look "around" hucha at the cute guy in red.
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteI know! I didn't notice the other guy until I downloaded my photos. I would have tried harder to get good shots of him while pretending it was all about the other guy.
I hope that look doesn't start trending!

DeleteYou don't the idea of Crack Shorts?
