day 6

Hola!

we went into town today to watch a baseball game(san jan del sur). i guess it was the red vs. the blue, because i have no idea which team was which. anyway we got there by the beach shuttle, which, no offence, must have been designed by a woman because it's a ball breaker. talk about a bumpy ride! anyway it was cheap,50 cordoba which is like $2.50.

At the game Pat got a bag of meat with some plantain chips and some sort of cole slaw for like $2 and the beers were about 50 cents each, which is pretty nice.

we watched the game for about 2 hours and I think the blue team won, but who knows, there is no score-board, just a guy writing all of the stats down in a notebbok.

after that we jmped in a taxi for about a dollar back to the center of town and tried to go by our friends' surf shop but it was closed. so we ate at restraunt on the beach. the food kinda sucked, but you can get a half liter of flor de cana a bucket of ice and a bottle of soda (or in our case a bottle of club soda) and some limes for $150 cordoba which is about $7. this was the first bad food ive had here, it was tasty but the shrimp were just way overcooked.

after that we got another taxi back home and surfed for an hour before dark. it was about waist to chest high, clean but closing out a bit. i got 3 pretty fun waves and a few dumpers, but it was fun.

here are some photos... enjoy!
