I was home last night when the call came in. The call was from a friend of ours Nate (some of you know him too). He and his girlfriend (yes, girlfriend) Dana are currently in Mexico on a romantic vacation for two. I would love one of those Jeff! Enough of that...
So, Nate tells me this unbelievable story about his day. He and Dana are staying in the Riviera Maya on the ocean at a resort. There is another resort just down the beach from them that has this great swimming place. They decided to head down the beach to swim for awhile. As they were walking back to their resort for dinner, they noticed something in the water near a few boats that had anchored by shore. They weren't sure at first what the item was and so Nate decided to swim out to it to see. It was a man face-down in the water with snorkel gear on. Nate flipped him over and saw that he was not breathing. Nate drug him onto shore and Dana started mouth to mouth with the guy (she's a nurse). There were a couple of other people who came over to help, but no luck. He had been dead for a while. Nate said that the guy was a tourist (60-70 years old) and he and Dana saw the guy earlier that day snorkeling around. They think that he may have had a heart attack or a stroke or something. (This is Nate's first big trip, by the way. I wonder if he'll be going anywhere in the near future.)
**This story takes the cake. It definitely beats any vaca story I have.
