May 2, 2009 Las Penitas, Nicaragua
Soundtrack: The Cult - Love
Wake up at 8am to the waves of the Pacific. The surf is a solid 5ft. with glossy rideable rights and not a soul in the water. I decide to grab some breakfast, traditional Nica breakfast which includes pinto beans, rice, eggs, toast, and the best part....strong Nicaraguan coffee! I hang out for a bit....check my email and play with the hotel dog, a little Dachshund named "Rosie". I have a Dachshund named "Vegas" so I have a real soft spot for these dogs.
I then decide to go out and have a surf....epic conditions! I surf for 3 hours and catch some great waves! I really love this place. Nothing better than saying f**k off to the 9-5 stress and live life the way it was supposed to be lived.....no worries, low stress, good people, good drinks, good surf, and all in a tropical paradise!
So 2pm comes around and I have my appointment with the real estate agent. Mauricio comes and picks me up and she shows me lots of properties in Poneloya and a couple strike my eye so I'm going to think about buying one, we'll see. Mauricio takes me to his house ad I meet his family. Very nice people and he is a great guy too! A definite must have resource in Nicaragua. We head back to Playa Roca and discuss business, real estate, and future opportunities over a couple of rum and Cokes.
After I'm done with Mauricio, I then decide to take in some more waves. I catch some good surf for an hour or so before the sun starts to set. Time for dinner again. Max and I strike up a conversation about this adventures in Thailand, Burma, the Caribbean, Central and South America. This guy has some amazing stories.....crazy stuff I wish I could have experienced. He tells me he needs some new music for the bar and tells me his son and girlfriend are DJ's in Spain. Right up my alley, so I give Max some mp3's and we talk about how we can put some DJ/music stuff in Nicaragua. Once again, another great opportunity. Max tells me he is going to meet a friend and get some fresh lobster for dinner. After an hour, he comes back and tells me he has 4 lobster tails on the grill for me! I'm in heaven!! 4 lobsters, Tona beer, and great company! Myself, Max, and Cookie make a dinner date again!
After dinner, I decide to take it easy so I hit a hammock on the beach and crank up the Cult and crash out!
