What I learned in Crimea

  • Eating regularly and substancially makes me feel great
  • Icy mountain water is meant to be swam in
  • Swimming without flippers is usually a waste of time
  • Never loan your things to fat kids you don’t know
  • Snorkling increases lung capacity
  • Bees bring a lot of humor to life
  • You’re not full until the plate is clean
  • All of the plates.
  • Inky night-time water is meant to be swam in
  • The water is never as cold as you expect it to be
  • The older the truck, the longer it runs
  • The mule will not attempt those stairs
  • And the mule broker suggests you read the fine print
  • Before your crying daughter expects the mule to climb that flight of improvised stairs
  • Nuclear submarines are worth every effort of hiding
  • Dmitri and Yvgeny think your girlfriend is hot
  • So don’t let the boat drift too far away after you dive off it
  • Sleeping regularly and substancially makes me feel great
  • Count your change when you buy something at the airport
  • And haggle to your benefit after discovering the cashier’s arithmetic “mistake”
  • There are also ticks in Crimea
  • And they are drawn to my legs just like American and German ticks.
  • I am delicious to ticks.
  • Pelmeni are delicious to me.
  • Sometimes a real, honest to god vacation is all you really need.
