Sun, sea and espanol …

CR week 2 … where were we … The Voice, mexican stylie, 2 x swathy lotharios, miss boob job and 2 guys sharing 1 chair.  So a bit about Samara itself, earthquake a couple of years ago changed the surf hence surf schools but hmmm mini surf now.  Pali, local supermarket, has barb wired fence and night watch man but remains the same re Sat in a supermarket back home aka rush hour.  Palm trees on beach, heavy winds be careful of death via coconut.  Small resort, quad bikes, 4×4’s, bikes, jalopies. Restaurants on the beach – Gusto my fav.  Night time sleep (I use that word loosely) mucho dogs barking.  First day at school aka Intercultura on the beach was brilliant.  Hammock and view shot below.  5 of us in class.  All beginners and as such tutor spoke some english to make sure we understood (as opposed to Italy when she just blabbed in italian straightaway which was as much use as a choc teapot).  Classes alternate 8-12 then 1-5 next day.  Therein followed dodgy bott and mucho vomiting deep joy.  What’s that?  Too much information?  Aaah thanks to mama tica Xinia for ‘there there’ and looking after.

So mama tica Xinia has a diddy dog called Dolly (who fits in my hand) and another doggie.  Her previous dog Jack was eaten by a crocodile!!!!  Jim (not a dog) is also a housemate from Seattle and is a bit mutton … I had to laugh when he told me his role was working in hearing (he is retired).  He says it’s my accent, I say I speak the queen’s english (guvnor).  He speaks good espanol thou.  I was the only one at baile latino class – uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete … uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete.
Went dolphin watching and after 2hrs and me getting a tad bored, Jacques yelled that he had caught a fish.  At the same time boat driver yelled ‘dolphins!!!’.  Jacques and said driver fought for 20mins to reel said fish in (it was a huge mahi mahi) whilst the rest of us cooed at the dolphins.  Was sad that the fish got stabbed to death.

Walking home past some howler monkeys playing on the (covered – save frazzled monkeys) overhead cables and boy do they howl.  Exam and graduation at school – by my pic you would have thought I studied for a year re my grin.  Had a fruitless task finding somewhere to watch the 6 nations so had to rough it on the beach drinking cocktails (whilst at the same time dodging a squirrel who was lobbing his leftovers down at me, we nearly shared the food when I happened to mistime my looking up …)
