Tourists Can Finger Paint

OK, so when Lex told me to do the finger painting at our resort I thought maybe she was a little crazy. haha. I mean, finger painting isn't usually an adult activity. Maybe she'd been hanging out in the kids club while on her vacation last year. :)

But low and behold there it was on the daily activities sheet. Finger Painting!

I sort of forgot about it, but one day at poolside a large crowd was gathered so we checked out what it was...and sure enough it was the finger painting class. Of course I was too late for the free first class, so I ended up paying $10 to sit in on the second round (nice setup on their part....get everyone all interested then throw a price tag on it).

The teacher was a hilarious Mexican guy that spoke about a zillion languages. He was funny and completely trashed on everyone's artistic skills. "oh, that's terrible." "geeze lady, give me that." "holy crap, what are you doing?" Totally worth the $10 for the comedy alone. The fun painting was just a bonus. Of course, he touched up everyone's work so we didn't take home a totally amateur piece of trash.

Super cute bathroom art!
