The hookah pipe when retired makes an excellent lamp.
(Travel Tip: Cruising is the best kind of vacation for those of us who only want to unpack once. The Mexican Riveria is one of my favorite places and I found the absolute perfect small hotel with excellent an beach, but spotty service and really mediocre food. It is located near Tulum, which is inches away from becoming another Cancun. When in the area, you must visit Chichen-Itza, which was capital of the ancient Mayan empire. The ruin is in excellent condition. Once there, you will see the pyramid of Kukulkan (75 feet high), the Temple of the Warriors, the Ball Court, the Observatory and the Sacred Well where prisoners of war were sacrificed to ancient gods. Wear comfortable shoes and a hat and bring bottled water.)
