That is what the parrot I am living with yells constantly. It´s a term of endearment for a grandmother, and it´s what Isabela calls Jamila, the woman who owns the beauty salon where I am staying. It´s pretty hilarious to hear this bird just flipping out and yelling ABUELITA!!!!!!!! over and over and over and over again.
I went to Las Penitas again today and met a Canadian guy who gives deep sea fishing tours, I might go for one, try to catch some snapper and sailfish. The waves at Las Penitas are big for this time of year, and there are some surfers there but it´s a really chill beach with only a few hotels and bars that are really small. The Canadian also invited me to go on an iguana hunt, where I would hunt iguanas and shoot them with a sling shot, then grill them up and eat them. I saw a few young boys walking down the road with dead iguanas and sling shots. DINNER!!!!
So, when I return to Leon, which I have to do at some point to catch a bus to Chinandega, I might stay a while and do an iguana hunt. I mean, how many times in my life will I have the chance to hunt iguanas with a sling shot? Guessing not too many.
I learned a lot about Germany today, from a girl named Katya who is here studying Spanish as well. I think the most important piece of information that I learned is that leather pants come from Bavaria, and they do silly dances and said leather pants have been imported to Miami, which is the world´s largest importer of Bavarian leather pants, apparently. So, if you see someone in leather pants, you have Bavaria to thank for it. Katya hates Bavaria. But she loves hefeweisen.
I´m tired as hell, and slightly bronzed. Tomorrow is my last day of class in Leon, then I hop a chicken bus to Matagalpa, then back to Leon, then to Chinandega, then to Jiquilillo, then to Isla de Ometepe, then who knows. Hopefully diving off Little Corn Island. Nicaragua is amazing and exhausting.
Entonces, les despido con eso -- Abuelita!!!!!!!!!
