I had an incredible surf session last Thursday at what used to be a "secret spot" which made me realize I need to surf that spot a bit more before it is not so secret any more. I surfed with Holly Beck, www.hollybecksurfs.blogspot.com, which a bonus not just for her beauty and smooth style in the barrel but also because of the great vibe and positive energy she has. I was also officially working as I was with my business partner John Goldenberg, www.c21popoyo.com, and New Marina office manager, Kristin Wilson, www.c21beachfront.com, and it stayed offshore until at least noon; when my arms stopped working. This was rare as we were in Northern Nicaragua where it does not always stay offshore all day long. After a big lunch at my friends 3,500 acre cattle ranch where we stayed we were on the road.....a few emails on the iPhone and some phone calls and I had my driver pull over and I hopped on my Mtn Bike for about 1.5 hours of 'heat training' to get in shape to race with the Century 21 Gold Coast Realty Mtn Bike Team, www.c21sanjuan.com/pages/in_the_community.html. After that it was dinner on the road and then crossing the border to Costa Rica to meet with some clients to bring back to Nicaragua....

Incredible rain
It was muggy today in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua - it had rained like crazy about 5:15 in the morning, then it never really cleared up but wasn't all that dark. The afternoon brought a few patches of sun and because it was Sunday, the playas were full of people enjoying their day off.
Right across from the Century 21 office, where I am working on a consulting assignment, a group of young men were practicing soccer moves like kids in the US toss an American football. These guys were amazing - I stood on the porch for about 10 or 15 minutes and the ball only hit the ground a few times.
I imagine this is what Hawaii must have been like 30 or 40 years ago, when real estate was as cheap as dirt and opportunities were there for the taking.
The day ended with an incredible plate of Arroz con Camerones at El Timon and a mad dash back to La Posada Azul through the thunderous rain storm that broke just as I was finishing my Tona.
