San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, 0 miles
Due to our flight our of Panama not being for another 13 days, and not much more land to cover until then, we took an extra day in San Juan del Sur as we knew once we exit Nicaragua everything would cost a lot more. It is a nice little town with good surf and a beach in a bay full of fishing boats. As we knew there wasn’t too much to do during the day, everything we did, we took our time.
A little internet time in the morning followed by a search for the perfect lunch. Our choice was Big Wave Daves; burgers and quite delicious after waiting over an hour to get them. Everything seems to be in slow motion, and just as the restaurant workers have plenty of time, so do we. A swim and frolic in the ocean afterwards was just what the doctor ordered. The water was warm, and the small waves just enough to play in. As we lay on the beach we noticed their sand crabs were weird slug type critters with little feelers that would poke out of the sand with every wave…once we discovered that we were ready to head out, followed by a nap.
The nap lead into dinner time in which we searched our the infamous Chicken Lady (senora de la pollo). A little house on the west side of the park was supposed to serve some delicious chicken; we found the spot and enjoyed pollo con gallopinoto. Good, not as good as Jerry’s looked, but we didn’t want to support that guy from what we heard and saw of him (dirty old man). We followed dinner with some cold Victorias and Ron’s by the beach with Adam, Heather and Ken (our motorcycle friends) and we rented a pirated copy of X-Men III to watch in the comforts of our own room; so happy we brought the laptop! It was GREAT to relax and enjoy a movie…I miss it! We had our A/C turned on high and relaxed to a great movie…
