Adios Patricia

On Friday, I said goodbye to Patricia (who has been staying with the same family as me in Nicaragua). We hit the town for dinner, eating at Pasta Pasta, a very authentic italian restaurant. I was sad to see her go, as she has been a great friend, translator and tour guide for my first two weeks in Granada.

Later that night, Tamara & I hit the local hotspots, namely Cafe Neuit. After a couple of La Toñias (the local brew), was tempted to hit the dance floor to test my new found salsa skills, but chickened out everytime I was asked.

Later that night I found about my curfew! Caught a taxi home at 12.00am to find all the doors locked (including a door I didn´t have keys to)- my family had locked me out! As I am trying to work out what to do, the electricity goes out.. So there I am, with no idea how to get into the house in the pitch dark. Eventually there is a little voice saying ´Suzanna´.. I had woken up the house keeper and she came to let me in. Oops. so there I am trying to give my apologies, after a few drinks with very minimal spanish! Lo siento!
