The Miss Nicaragua competition was not quite as tacky as I had imagined/hoped. The best part was when a transformer exploded and sent a shower of sparks on to the thatch roofed restaurant in which the competition was held. It was interesting to see the reactions of the locals to these so called "queens of the sea". During the swimsuit competition, all the men catcalled and shouted at the girls. We stayed until the power went out and then were much more enthralled by the fire spinning-fire breathing and coal walking that was going on down the beach.
The investigation is still underway about who took our money. No new news on that topic. Hopefully more news to come.
Today we had an interesting run in with a prostitute in our hotel. We were coming out of our room and caught one of the other guests sneaking her out. Shortly after we went to go get drinks on the beach and lo and behold the girl was at the table next to us buying drinks with money from her "boyfriend". It was delightfully awkward.
Hopefully one of these days I will have much better things to write about than robberies and prostitution.
Hasta Luego!
