Holy poop, Batman. Beach volleyball in CA?

So, we arrive in San Juan del Sur in search of a relaxing end to our trip. We thought that a little sun and surf would be nice before heading back to the frigid NW. Plus, we sucessfully saw a sloth and climbed a volcano as previously posted...so onto R&R it was. We almost decided to go into Costa Rica right away, after getting screwed by another minibus operation. However, since we had taken out a bit of cordoba's and didn't want to get taken at the border...again...we thought we would check it out for at least a day.

Then to our suprise...A freakin volleyball net was setup on the beach!!! We decided to take a dip in the water first...which was quite a bit colder than Sipicate, but still warmer than the NW Pacific. Then we were going to practice hitting a bit on the net, but there were some locals warming up on the net. They were pretty consistent with ball handling and not too much for power. I was able to hop in for a game, but didn't get any warm up besides a bit of peppering with Heather. So, I lost with my local partner. They play rally to 15 here for some reason. Anyhow, ended up playing a couple more games with a dude from Calgary who used to play a couple years back. We never pulled out a win, but I think that we can take the court for a couple of games this evening.

We'll keep you posted. Heather is kinda sick right now:( Hopefully the seista will fix her up for the remainer of our time here. Either that or the drugs from the pharmacy!

Much Love,

Abe and Heather
