Papichullo,
That reminded me of something that happened on one of my trips to CR several months ago (another Flamingo Beach trip). I convinced a friend of mine to fly down to CR with me for a quick 3 day weekend trip. I told him the fishing was awesome down there, but that was all I told him. He knew that I'd been down there a few times already, and I always come back with great fishing pics, so he decided to go. Bare in mind, that I never mentioned anything to him about my extracurricular excursions, so he had no idea what was in store for him (besides great billfishing). He begged his gringa wife to let him go, and she (reluctantly) said yes. So, I booked our flights, got a couple hotel rooms, reserved a rental car, and booked a charter boat for a day of fishing. Ok....things are looking up! Now, I've known this guy for several years, been to a few titty bars with him, and I had a feeling that he might be a 'player', but I wanted to see how he'd act (or react) when we got to the bar. We walked into the bar our 1st night there, and there were about 9 or 10 chica's in there, but only a couple other guys. He was already feeling good about the numbers, and I think he was already trying to remember some of his "ole-faithful" pick-up lines! You can guess what happened next. We weren't in there for 5 minutes before a pretty, flaca (spinner type) Nica walked up to him. I gave her a solid 8 until she smiled and her teeth were a little crooked, that brought her down to a 7, but the body was definitely "smokin"! I watched him talk to her (in broken spanglish) for a few minutes, but then I had to use the head. About mid-stream, he walked into the rest room and stood behind me with an amazed look on his face. His eyes were all glossy, he had a big sh*t-eating grin on his face, and he looked like he had just won 1st place in the Daytona 500! He said to me....... "dude, you're not gonna believe what just happened. That girl just told me that she'd ph*ck my brains out for only one hundred bucks. Dude.....Is this legal here??? What should I do?"........ Well, I did what any one of my fellow CRT brothers would do (and I wasn't even a member yet). I finished what I was doing, zipped up, washed my hands, put my right hand on his left shoulder, looked him right in the eyes and said "My friend....welcome to Costa Rica....and if you give her a hundred bucks, I'll beat the sh*t out of you". Needless to say, from that point forward, it was on! After a short talk with him about the facts of life in CR, we headed back to the bar. I helped him negotiate a TLN for 40K colones. Well, to make a long story short, he had an awesome weekend, and he now refers to me as his 'best' friend. One nice sidenote to the whole weekend, we ended up catching two blue marlin and 6 sailfish, so he had plenty of great pics to show his esposa when we returned home. Since then, he's always the 1st one to call me when I get off the plane from my CR trips. He's a great guy, but works a dead-end job for mediocre pay, with little vacation time. He's already talking about saving his vacation time for a trip next summer. He definitely has "the bug". After I return from my trip next week (1st time in SJ), I'll introduce him to CRT, and tell him to join. I'm sure, especially now, I won't have to twist his arm!
Well, Pura Vida my brothers and I'll see ya when I see ya. Even though I won't be there for the 2nd annual party, I've already bought my raffle tickets and alarm clock. Damn...that's gonna be a helluva party.
Hasta Luego,
Mikey B.
