Bon Provecho Perro

OK, I have not updated in a couple days, and we have done TONS.First off, we bought a surfboard. We met this guy at our hotel (his name is Mario and he is from Sweden) and he had a surfboard he was trying to sell. Being the kind of people we are, we decided to buy it. The surf board also came with a free lesson, so the next day we went out and tried out the surf.
I pretty much fail at surfing.BUT, I did manage to ride one wave, which was hella-cool and Im sure that it shouldnt be too much harder...I also scraped off the skin off both of my knees, which hurts but was well worth. Sage and Zoe are both sporting very rape-victimy looking bruises on their hips.

Playa Zonte (where we are staying) is realllllyyyy beautiful, and we have just been having a good time enjoying the beautiful ocean and waves. There is some really cool people staying at our hotel, and every night there is some kind of party going on. This one guy from California who is our age, named Skylar is here with his Dad and Uncle. They are pretty cool, and we have been hanging out with them alot. Skylar has been surfing for 4 years and is pretty damn good.

Also some other guys from Nova Scotia, Australis and Britain. They are all a good laugh. Last night Zoe, Skylar, Uncle, Roman(Nova Scotian), Simon(Aussie) and I were having a good time at the beach resteraunt when we heard this crazy loud druming music coming from the other hotel. We went and investigated and found ourselves dancing around tribaly with a bunch of native surfers. It was SO FUN. If you ever get the chance to drink some Nicaraguan Rum and dance around tribaly, DO IT.

We are sleeping in 'the penthouse' with three other guys from Canada. It is glorious, and has two levels complete with deck, and hammocks. It is GREAT, and not even that expensive.

There was the most incredible storm last night. I woke up in the middle of the night, and it was gusting wind, and there was alot of lightning. It was amazing. We all just sat out on our deck, and watched the flickering horizon for a while. All of our stuff was blowing around, and Im sure a couple days from now Im going to be finding my clothes down the street somewhere.

Unfortunatly, I also have some bad news.
1. Sage is still sick, which totally blows. We though she was over her illness, but she has been feeling sick to her stomach again. Poor girl could do nothing but lay around and drink Gatorade. It was very sad, and we all hope she gets better very very soon
2. The dog ate our surf board. Yes, it is true. Our brand new spanking board, now has some very unattractive bite marks in it. One night after we had all gone to bed our roommate Walid (who is sleeping in the downstairs section of our penthouse) awoke to chewing noises. He found a dog inside KNAWING on our board. It was very sad, since we had just gotten it, but luckily we brought it to the Surf Hospital, and it should be almost good as new in a matter of hours.
3. We have a shitty roommate. These three guys from Canada are staying at our hotel. Walid, Lucas and Jake. Walid is very sweet, and nice and we love him. Lucas is OK...but Jake is EVIL. We all hate him SO MUCH. I havent met someone SO annoying and SO insecure for SO long. We have nicknamed him Frodo because he looks like a hobbit, AND he gets tres scary just like Frodo did when the ring over powers him. I dont even think I can explain what he is like. Drunk british boy is constantly muttering 'wanker' and 'prick' under his breath, and everyone refer to him as 'psycho boy'. Luckily, he is leaving tomorrow, and everyone will be able to breathe easy again.
4. The dog stole my sandals. They were my THIRD pair. They have been missing for days, and finally today I had to suck it up and buy a new pair.

BUT, other than those few minor set backs, things have been going really well, and been really fun. I really recomend this place for a vacation...it is truly beautiful.
