Dari and G Man in North America

A couple of us, to celebrate Rob and Maria leaving, decided to head to the West coast of the island for the weekend. We headed for Rincon which is apparently a great surfing town. The plan was to leave at 8am and follow the girls because it is quite confusing to get there. That was the plan. The flaw in the plan was that all us guys only managed to crawl home at 4am from Old San Juan - 8am wasn’t looking to good at this point. So we decided that the guys would be leaving at 10 cause we can! So 10 rolls around the next morning and we leave in Dave's Camry with GPS but the GPS is pretty shit. So we select a random hotel in Rincon (of the 15 they had on the GPS) and started driving. When we got close we tried to hook up with one of the girls who tried to come find us but we both ended up getting lost. Then we decided to just follow the GPS to this random hotel anyway. This ended up taking us through town where we basically tore a hole in the front bumper of the car by going straight into a hole in the street and then almost had a head on collision when going the wrong way down a one way (or so we think).

Palm trees and beer...


So we tried to find the girls again who were trying to find us but with no road markings and/or English speaking people we decided again to trust the GPS and followed its dodgy directions to the random hotel. We eventually got to this hotel which was on the beach and had a beer and called the girls to let them know where we were, and can you believe it… it was like 200m from our place! Believe it cause its true.



The house we stayed in was pimpin, and had such a great bar and pool below it as well….




We also met the coolest dog, but we didn’t know his name so we checked his collar and it said 823 8135. Now that’s a pretty long name, so we decided to just call him 823 (who names there dog such a dumb name!!).



So anyway we had a beer and some lunch, hit the beach in the afternoon. That night we went for dinner and did a little drinkin at the bar on the beach. There was a "DJ" there who looked promising but actually set up her decks and speakers and then just basically turned one song lower and faded the new one in - so useless and disappointing.



The next day was a great day, so we hit the beach and played a little NFL which was so excellent. Finally got to catch a few waves - this has been the first beach since we arrived in the US that has had some decent waves.



All in all it was some good company and a great weekend.
