Saludos Amigos-
I am having an amazing time right now. I live with Andrew, a young Ohioan transplant who married Raquel, a Rubanesque Managua native. Raquel has a 2 year old baby named Joao from a different father. Andrew has taken him in as part of the family. Andrew and Raquel got married a week ago, and they're in nuptial bliss. Andrew's a chiropractor, really laid back, Raquel's a masseuse, round, warm, good mama. Joao is a little charmer. I love my home. Brenda is the charming girl who comes to clean, and Roberto is Raquel's layabout brother.
Today I practiced really well. I'm feeling a lot more comfortable on the mound. Lorenzo gave me some coaching tips.
I'm at Big Wave Dave's now and I learned some really fucked up shit. Dave has essentially imprisoned his spouse, Ana, and her two sisters, Gregoria and Patricia. They can't leave the bar, no matter what. After work, they sleep in the back. What a fucked up situation. Anyway, I've learned that women really are treated as inferiors in Nicaragua. Nica fathers are notorious deadbeats...many of them knock up girls and then ditch the family to get drunk in the street. There are a lot of single mothers here. But then again, family comes first, so there is a strong support system from the families of these women.
They say that the thing that brings you back to Nicaragua is the people. I couldn't agree more. I love the Nica people so much. Especially in San Juan del Sur. They are so bright, friendly, and open.
Today's picks:
ATLANTA BRAVES over the Florida Marlins
TORONTO BLUE JAYS over Tampa Bay Rays
COLORADO ROCKIES over Chicago Cubs
Cheers,
Darius
