So I am now back in the land of the living and the relative civilisation of Leon after a week of sunshine, beach huts hammocks and rum for Christmas. My Spanish has gone totally out of the window and its not surprising really considering the amount of rum that was consumed, English was sometimes an effort.
I was preety much in the middle of no where, 4 hours up the coast on the hottest sweatiest bus I have ever been on,children climbing all over you, half dead chicken making the occasional break for freedom out of the only window that would open, 4 to a seat, the roof piled high with god knows what, and being hustled by little old ladies selling everything from fried chicken to great big granny pants. I am not sure I have ever been so happy to see the sea before in my life, and what a few, arriving just in time to go for a swim at sunset before settling into a hammock to drink rum and play cards. bliss!
Christmas day was pretty special. I woke with a raging hangover made mamagable by the fact that I was probably still a half cut. Had a beer for breakfast and hit the beach for the day. My friend out here Jessica is perhaps more competative than I am when it comes to games so what should have been a few beach games turned into more like a olympic marathon, swimming, surfing, card championchips, hammock swinging, ultimate frisby and crap racing. We finished the day off in style with red wine and red snapper.
So now its all over for another year and it is onward and upward. Tommorow I am planning the next part of my adventure. It will involve, volcano hikes, kayaking and some serious spanish study.
Hasta Pronto Mi Amigos! x

ps
I expect you mean crab racing - I had a vision of little turds scudding over the sand.
A bit surreal, but not surprising considering the rum intake!
