San Juan del Sur

Rivas, Nicaragua

Suburbia in Rivas



Willa will have to tell you the story about this cafe, the dog, the grilled chicken and the man!


This  is the cafe at the surfing beach outside of San Juan del Sur
I'm quickly loosing track of the days, dates and everything else!

On Wednesday we met a husband/wife while we were eating breakfast and to make a long story short they told us that their son was starting a service for tourists and that she'd like to introduce us to him and we did.

On Thursday we went to the Pacific with Brenton Marsiello Newbon and his Haitian driver and the driver's two sisters who were visiting from Florida and a retired farmer from Montana.

We were to leave at 6:30am and when I meandered downstairs at around 6:20 or so I quickly saw that I'd have to do business with the three hotel ducks. I can only imagine that the reason they were coming after me was because they were hungry and thought that I had some food; I didn't. I wanted to take a photo of them however when I returned they'd gone back to their pool, etc.

It took about 2 hours to get to San Juan and because we had left early, the traffic moved along just fine. One of the ladies wanted to surf and so, we went to a surfing beach and spent the rest of the morning there.

Since we'd not eaten breakfast we ate at the beach ... they do like to use salt in their food preparation! I seldom do so I'll have to learn how to ask in Spanish not to add salt to mine.

I wonder if it would be something like this ...
por favor, no aƱadir sal a la comida
If so, I'll have to make myself a 'cheat note' ;)

I'm going to add a few of the photos here and probably the rest on Facebook?

  1. No salt = "sin sal".

    No sugar = "sin azucar" (I don't have the accent symbol on my keyboard, it's over the "u").
