A good weekend

Last night the students let down their hair a bit. Some went to the Sunset bar. The clouds had mostly cleared and there were great views of the Pacific coast and you could see into Nicaragua. Bernie our guide spoke with the bartender who told him of a rodeo in the nearest s town 30 minutes drive. They wanted a group to go. However after much negotiations it seemed like the workers here wanted the Americans to fund it, charging us $10 a person for a ride down there. Thankfully that fell apart much to the chagrin of the workers who came back twice with  cheaper offers. I always say travel is a chess match of mutual exploitation. So the crew stayed in the hotel bar and drank shots. I peeled off at 9. 

At breakfast the few in attendance looked ok. Jim said some were up all night talking. Today is blue skies. We head out around eleven stop in Liberia for lunch and then back to Samara.
