Dad Waves at Prostitutes

Got up about 8:00am after being awake for a few hours laying in bed. It's a free all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast (with bananas and coffee/tea) at the hostel.

The city tour guide picked us up about 9:00 for our city tour, which wasn't as interesting as the one in Leon.

Back to the hostel around noon, when we went to a ABM (for dad) and I bought some dresses for Tracy. It's hard, I have to try and size the dress based on mannequins that look about Tracy's size. Hehe.

Sent an email to Paradiso Hostel at Laguna de Apoyo, a hostel at a deep, clean, volcanic crater lake near Granada. I tried to do some laundry by hand. Had a dip in the pool, then journal stuff and relaxing.

Dad got an email from Danielle, one of the Dutch girls from Leon, inviting us to an Irish pub for trivia night and a beer tonight at 7:30. We said yes.

A big storm hit about 5:00pm, massive downpour and lightning and thunder. By 7:30, it was still raining a bit, but we decided to go to the pub anyway, as we needed to eat. We assumed they wouldn't go out in the rain, and I further assumed the rain would ruin the outdoor seating at the pub and the trivia wouldn't happen anyway. I was correct, there were a few people braving the rain, but the pub was not busy. Remember the three prostitutes hanging around outside, under umbrella's, waving in at us, and dad waving back at them.

Back to the hostel around 9:00, still raining. At least the power hasn't gone out yet.

To bed around 11:00, and BAM, the power went out! We both groaned and complained to each other. Fortunately, it came back on about 20 minutes later. The power did go out periodically throughout the night, but only for a few minutes at a time, so it wasn't bad. The room was pleasant with the door open and the fans going.
