Nicaragua



I must apologize for not updating this blog more, but have been super busy working on new projects and part of this work entails writing...so writing even more hasn’t been at all appealing.  Alas, I digress.
A couple of weeks ago, a few of us went to San Juan del Sur Nicaragua for four nights and stayed in a two bedroom house overlooking Playa Maderas complete with dining room, full kitchen, satellite TV (so I could watch my CNN) and of course, hammocks! 
I like Nicaragua.  The people are friendly, the rum is cheap ($5.00 a bottle) and the surf breaks were empty.   The whole atmosphere was very chill, but everyone seemed to be working diligently and no one seemed to be slacking about...unlike some other Latin American countries that I have visited.

There are a lot of options for eating in San Juan del Sur, and there is a great Irish Pub with Guinness on tap!    We visited the market every day for fresh fruit and veggies, and bought seafood right off the boats.  Yummeee!  I think the only complaint we has was that we couldn’t find a decent bottle of wine anywhere...so we drank come pretty gnarly table wine with dinners.
Back to reality and Tamarindo.  I am looking forward the the southern hemi’s hitting us now, and last week we had some really excellent conditions.  This weekend is looking outstanding again, and I am doing my daily crunches so I can last at least three hours out there every day.

Surf hard!
