San Juan del Sur

la playa

the hostel roof.

in san juan, i watched the colts game on a projector screen on the beach here. feet buried in sand and servers at the tableside ready to deliver. this was most certainly a change of atmosphere from the usual day-of-the-superbowl in indianapolis. at the beginning of the game, i decided to take a gamble and put in 40 cordobas ($2 american) into a superbowl pot... i had never bet into a pool in my life so i decided to give it a shot. i hated the idea of not knowing who i was betting for, but i decided to go forth anyway. the game ended in a loss for the colts, and i could only imagine the upset fans back home... after the game was over, i continued talking with some friends until one of them came back to the table and asked ¨are you chris s?¨. i looked at him with confusion until he ended with ¨you won the pot!¨

$100 later on my way home, i figured it wasnt such a bad game afterall.
