During the week we picked up a couple house guests. 2 of my wifes nieces came in from Acoyapa to spend the week with us. I really enjoy having them around. They are 2 of the sweetest and most well-behaved kids I have ever met in my life. It was my pleasure then to be able to take them to the beach for the first time in their lives.

The first stop in San Juan del Sur was the bikini store. It's hard to go swimming when you don't have a bathing suit. Well, it's not really hard, just frowned upon. When we got to the beach their reaction was really kind of amusing. They weren't quite sure what they were supposed to do. Being kids, however, it didn't take them long to figure things out and that they liked the beach a whole lot. Even though it was a crappy day with off and on rain no one complained. They were just happy to be playing in the ocean, a rare treat for a kid from Acoyapa.

Soon the girls were burying each other in sand and they had truly figured out what the beach is all about.

| As we were leaving San Juan del Sur I noticed that there were blue flags everywhere. These weren't there when we were driving in. It seems a new political party has sprung up out of nowhere in Nicaragua called the "AC" party. AC stands for Alternativa Cambio or basically "the alternative change party". I got a good laugh because this party had to be 100% inspired by the US candidate Barrack Obama. (no idea how you spell his first name) I have no idea what their platform is, much like most Obama supporters have no idea what his is, but they're for "change" so that must be a good thing. Of course, much like Obama the change they want might be for a full-scale government takeover of every aspect of society so is "change" really always a good thing? We'll see if this party gains any traction. The only place I've seen any evidence of them is in SJDS so I have no idea if this is a large operation or a few crackpots. Time will tell. |
