FUNNY MONDAY: TODD VISITS A BATHROOM

Todd ponders that age-old question, "To pee, or not to pee?"

You see a lot of strange public toilets while traveling--like the one in Korea powered by remote control and the one in Nepal where users are charged a fee depending on the length of their visit. 

Nicaragua took things to a whole new level though, as Kip's brother Todd discovered while at a rodeo in San Juan del Sur. 

Seen above standing precariously in flip flops on a wet, muddy board, he contemplated whether he'd be better off just walking around the back of the shed. 

Meanwhile, two ladies waiting in line for the "DAMAS" stall have a good laugh watching the hesitant gringo. 

Ultimately, he decided to wait til we got back to the hotel. Good decision, big bro!

PHOTO FRIDAY: CENTRAL AMERICAN RODEO

The crowd watches a not-quite-sober rider attempt to tame a bull at San Juan del Sur's annual rodeo.
Unlike a lot of attendees, Todd and Kip didn't climb into the ring and chase the bulls around. So they say.

Central American rodeos don't compare much to your average rodeo back home. 

Bull riders are usually well-liquored up kids from the local town, not pros who bust broncs for a living. Some of the riders actually tie their shoes together underneath the bull.

You'll see little-to-no fancy riding equipment, and rarely do cowboy boots get involved. 

Oh, and if standing atop the makeshift wooden fence doesn't deliver you close enough to the action, anyone who wants to, young or old, drunk or sober, can get in the bull ring and play "clown" for a day. It's really what most people come to see.
