how many taxis does it take to get to san juan del sur?

Three, if you are lucky? Entonces, we theoretically have a taxi all lined up for today at 1pm to take us approximately 2 hours to the Pacific Ocean town of San Juan Del Sur. He is prompt and courteous, he loads our bags and off we go. Approximately 5 miles outside of Granada all is going well until the radiator begins to smoke. We should have suspected something with all the 2 liter bottles of water in the trunk but by now it just looks normal to us. We pull over and the episode continues with something like this "its the weather that caused this"! Ok, I just thought it might be the lack of water in the radiator but he has yet another reason: its the car`s fault!! We point out the fact he has no water in the radiator and after he fills it with 4 liters he says " no, its not out of water" We respond : of course not, now that you have filled it to capacity. He now deems it too dangerous to continue the journey so he calls a buddy to see if he can fill in. We agree to meet at the cemetary and his buddy picks us up. We go approximately 2 blocks when the new cab driver says " I can´t take you to San Juan Del Sur" and proceeds to ask one of the seediest looking cabbies I have laid eyes on to take us there. At the same time this guy says no we yell, just take us back to the hotel. with me so far. This time , Francisco from the hotel calls an amigo and he agrees to take us. So by now we are on our 3rd cab driver and he actually gets us to our appointed destination and actually helps us while we check out hotels. We are settled in a nice little place with a/c and cable!!
After scoping the town out we are just letting everyone know we are still out here, somewhere. We will hole up here for a few days by the sea doing what people do when they are at the ocean.
Looks like a town where a lot of expats like to live and live it up. Adds on the wall read "want to start your life anew, join a blues band" "become a fisherman" etc. Lots of tune in , turn on and drop out as the late Timothy Leary was famous for saying.
As for me, I feel the call of the surf and sand and hope to answer that tomorrow!
