what happened to the boards???

We took the ferry over to the Nicoya peninsula (the Guanacaste on maps) and the roads are horrible over there!  We got so shook up on the roads that 1) a ceiling fan got knocked off, 2) the boat started to come off the rack twice, 3) the surf boards came off the rack just as we passed another car (good bye 50,000 colones about $100 U.S. to pay for the scratches and slight dent) and finally 4) the boards came off in such a way that we lost them, but still retained the soft board that Teresa uses and John ratty old long board.  Ugh.  We drove back but were told by a Tico that a couple of gringoes (that we know we passed) grabbed the boards and split!  Oh well.

We came back to the Jaco area to buy an used board and then NOT go back to the Guanacaste and will head towards the border tomorrow, but surf near the Nico border for a day or so.  

Not sure how long we will be in Nicaragua, maybe a week.
Health and happiness,
toni
