Haircuts and Surfing!

Haircut

Dave got a hair cut! Yes, his golden locks are gone. Well they aren't gone, just shorter.
It happened when we were in Granada about two weeks ago with the sun beating down and bouncing off the colonial buildings. The heat drove him to it.

We walked into a barber shop, and after 15 minutes and two dollars, I couldn't recognize him from the back!

Surfing

I am learning to surf! Dave tried to teach me in El Salvador, but the conditions were rough. Although we had a good time, not much progress was made.
After evesdropping on a lesson yesterday, at a beach near San Juan del Sur (they set up right by me, I couldn't not watch and listen), I was ready to try again. The water was warmer than it was in Popoyo and the waves were nice little ones for me, and hardly anyone else was in the water. I had a great time and Dave said I did well.

I wrote this post after we surfed in the morning, but the internet was slow and the photos wouldn't load, so we went back to the beach for the afternoon. On the way home in the afternoon we were robbed. Dave wrote a detailed account, but as far as I remember, we were not the last car out of there, otherwise it is spot on. Bottom line, we lost 80 bucks and Dave's laptop. Neither of us was hurt. I was scared, but have just about recovered and am only slightly jumpy.

We are in Heredia, Costa Rica. It is near San Jose and the airport. In a few hours we are going to pick up Robbie and his girlfriend and head to the beach near Nosara, where we have rented a house for the week.

Dave also has a new computer, we are calling him Acerito, because it is a tiny little Acer computer. It is great, only problem it is a Spanish XP, so we get to practice our Spanish when we try to set up a new program.
