I have come to realise I suck terrible at espagnol, but i am trying to learn as much as I can. The comprehnsion is getting easier and easier as days go by, party because people here speak to you like you are native and fluent even if you explain in spanich you don'[t speak a word. I'm sure it would frustrate some but i really like it, as if forces you to figure it out without english words to help you.
Had many a drink and some amazing conversatios last night, with some cats from Belgium, Denmark and Panama. Everyone hates the US so we all bond over that. Rum here is so damn cheap its almost ludicris. If you buy the cheap swill, which of course i do, its around two bucks canadan for a 26.. RON PLATA!!!! I'm drinking a cuba libre right now in fact.. Then me and matty are off to eat a set lunch for a buck twenty five and wash it all down with 67 cent beers, or dollar rum.
Took some amazing phtos walking around Granada today. First we went on a boat tour around "las isletas" which is a series of very small islands that used to be home to the poorest granadans, but is now being taken over by rish nicas and north americans.. Mansions all over, and one little island that has nothing but monkeys on it. Moneys are totally cool. WE then happend on a kids baseball game and man these kids were impressive, they could play some serious hardball. Diving quick double plays and entertainment in general. A few miles later we came across the Nica version of street hockey, street "footbal" or soccer.. we saw the very end of the game which climaxed in a missed penalty kick that would have one the game. The whole team and all the spoectators erupted in a string of celebratory words I will never understand, it was a very cool experience.
Ohh and our guide in las isletas called me a litlle fatty in spanish and taught me how to say "you fucing guy", but I forget how already. I'll stick with PUTA. I'm sweating like a fat kid eating right now because its sunny, about 32 with very little humidity and a constant breeze.. I hear its raining and single digits back home. Thats really too bad... makes me sad to har you guys have to live in that type of tripe... HA!

Don't forget the Spanish words andale and arriba, as in "Andale, andale! Arriba, arriba!" (Speedy Gonzales) You'll be speaking like a pro if you can slip that into a sentence.
I wouldn't say the weather is that bad lol. I'm just trying to defend the Canadian November weather. Not sure why but I thought try to represent. *respek*
