Travel Theme: Sweet

Sometimes revenge is a little sweet…

Halfway through our first hike in New Mexico Ryan stepped off the main trail and landed right on a low growing Prickly Pear Cactus. It’s needle sharp spines buried so deeply into his shoes, socks and skin that it took a pair of pliers to clear the last ones out of the rubber soles.

At lunch the first thing he ordered was a prickly pear frozen lemonade. It was delicious.

Did you add a little Cazadores Tequilla in that? Would have made a great Prickly Pear Margarital!

A sweet revenge. Those things hurt. I had a similar mishap on a hike once.

Sweet! Got to try it. First I need the prickly pear cactus minus the needles!

Perfect! Cactus spikes are painful, especially the tiny ones you don’t see until they’re all over your skin.
