DAY 7: I GOT A JOB!

It is only walking Sara's dog, Jojo, the cutest beach mutt. Sara is the owner of Las DIVAZ Casitas, and she is a TOTAL firecracker! I have met my twin. I am worming my way into her good graces so that maybe she will help find me a real job here next winter. My title was what we call a "hook".  Did I hook you? LOL

This place is divine! We are right on the Pacific and it is as beautiful as I remember it in San Francisco.  Sara is from Boston and has owned this place for over fifteen years.  It caters to adults and the gay community.  Right now, there is only another Canadian couple here from Edmonton, Dave and Carol.  This is how SMALL Costa Rica is. I mentioned to Sara that I had visited the Caribbean side of this gorgeous country, five years ago with a girlfriend from Montroeal. When I said we stayed at the Banana Azul, she said "Colin's place?"  When I replied with surprise, that "Yes, he was a Canadian from Vancouver, no longer with his partner", she added "No, they are back together!"
That is so cool!

We had our guest beer from Sara on the beach at sunset yesterday, around 6:00. It gets dark early in Costa Rica.  Sara is very straight forward about informing us of all the good and the bad of this beach town. Louise said, laughingly, after, in our little casita, "She is trying to terrorize us!"   I am not that easily terrorized. Just don't go on the beach after dark. Don't flaunt your stuff either!

There are lots of bugs and insects here.  I have a few good welts, but nothing major.

Yesterday, while enjoying a wonderful lunch on the beach, who should go by but Alex, one of our French friends, from the bus floor party. We hailed her and she stopped to have a chat with us.

I wish I could have gotten my hands on a gun this morning, to KILL that FRIGGIN' rooster that started crowing at 4:00 AM. He crowed until 6:00 am!  By that time, I had to get up for my job: I had to take that cutie Jojo for his walk on the beach at 6:30. She was waiting for me outside on the patio. We did a 4 km walk, and I managed to jog one of those kilometres. She be warm boy! That's what they would say in NFLD!  36 DEGREES Celsius is a regular day here.

Sara took us along with her to the local market this morning, then to run a few errands, so now we are totally free to relax, swim, soak up the sun, drink "cervelas"  = Imperial Silver, walk up and down the beach, eat, chat and really, do absolutely NOTHING much.  MARAVILLOSO!

This place is totally FUNKY in its decore.  I will post some pictures later. My phone has gone on strike and refuses to let me take more than half a dozen pictures, before telling me my storage is full!  ARRGH!!!!

So, if I don't blog for the rest of the week, until we leave Friday, you will know it is because there is nothing going on.  UNLESS, of COURSE, I get my hands on a gun, and/or that ROOSTER!!!

Louise just screamed! She was surprised by a BIG lizard. :)
