Dream Trip 2008: September

Great Travel Moment

My husband and I were vacationing in Puerto Escondido, Mexico for our anniversary. One day while exploring the Playa Manzanillo he found this grasshopper on his sunglasses. I suggested he carry his shades with this little guy on them to the other side of the beach. Not only did he endure the 2-minute walk, but he hung-out with us on top of this wooden post for nearly an hour. Convinced he was dead because he would not move I began dancing. Standing no more a foot away, I shaking it. Immediately this little grasshopper imitated me by swaying his body to the right and then to the left. Completely shocked that I was communicating with an insect I did the movements again. Yet again, this little bug shook it twice to the right and then twice to the left. I will never forget dancing in this moment!
