Change is good

Well my weekend plans changed at the last minute. Instead of the object lesson in third world privation that Nicaragua always provides, I got to enjoy a weekend of first world opulence. My buddy Raul called on Wednesday night and invited Jose and I to his family's vacation home in Jaco. So we spent the weekend in this amazing house right on the beach in a private resort. I spent my days playing tennis with Estabon and relaxing in the hot tub and the nights drinking copious amounts of Flor de Cana and flirting with the bevy of sexy Tica's that were there. I'm sure there is some constructive lesson about the nature of wealth distribution in the third world, but maybe sometimes you should just be grateful for the opportunities you have and not over think it.
