Yet another first for me in The Bahamas....I've been mugged! After returning home Friday night from a Salsa Club & Casino, I was greeted at the car door by a young man looking for a hand out. Only this wasn't the type of hand out I am used to after 2 years of working for The Salvation Army.
30 seconds and one purse later, we were en route to the police station (thankfully I wasn't alone during this little adventure). Unfortunately my digital camera was in the bag (which contains all of my Bahamas/Turks pictures that I have not uploaded), my phone, all my credit cards and my driver's license. Of course, everything is replaceable, except the pictures, so I am trying to stay positive about the whole thing. As I told my friend Lesa, "it was as good as a mugging could be."
I am now looking forward to carrying way too much cash with me on my trip to Chicago this weekend. Note to self: always keep at least one credit card hidden away someplace safe, like the freezer. Let's hope lightening doesn't strike twice...

big time suck!
when paul and i first moved to spain, my purse grew legs and walked out the door of a fast food shop... right in front of my eyes.
needless to say, i chased the legs, and my purse magically stopped running. i was super lucky.
be safe... and don't carry a purse!
