Having a shitty day

ok well contrary to the name of my blog, I had a wonderful day. I spent the night with Liz in Granada, and we walked to the Lake Cocibolca to go kayaking. She knows someone who is trying to spread the name of his business around, so he was giving a free day, so we kayaked (if that is even a word) and when we were walking home, we noticed a little cabana bar on the beach which was open 24 hours from Thursday thru Sunday. Were talking about how that explains why there were so many drunk men passed out alongside the road. Not a few minutes after that, I look to the left side of the road and see a man laying on the ground passed out in the fetal position. With a double take, he had his pants around his ankles with his bare ass hanging out. With a triple take, his ass wasnt the only thing hanging out. He must have been trying to go number 2 when he tipped over and passed out, there was a big ol´piece of poopy hanging from his butt. It was times like those that I would have LOVED to have my camera on me. Oh well better him then me I say.

On a random note

The taxi drivers in Masaya love to rip people off, and they are always trying to charge more than they quoted when they reach your destination. I have come up with a fool proof plan. check it. So people in Nicaragua NEVER EVER EVER have change for larger bills, not even 100 cordobas. so they will tell you that they dont have change, and unless you dig in your pockets and purses and find it, they will not sell you what ever you are buying. So for example you go to an ice cream shop and get a cone worth 20 cords (1 dollar) and you give them a 100 cord bill, they will tell you they dont have change, and if you dont come up with the correct change, they will make you give them back the ice cream cone and refuse the sale. So the other night, Liz and I took a taxi to a club in Masaya whi SHOULD have cost 20 cords (10 each) but then we get out of the taxi and he is like, "woah woah it is 20 EACH" we were arguing about this, and I had the bright idea to whip out my 500 cord bill. BOO YEAH he looked at me like "ARE YOU SERIOUS" and told us to get out and drove off. see. FLAWLESS PLAN!! I have no worries that ANY taxi driver will have the change for a 500 so I shouldnt be ripped off any time soon.

ok t it for now, back to reading Harry Potter!
