Great day today. Got about 3 hours of sleep last night because of a big going away party for someone in town. Had a good day of surf and actually broke one of my boards in half on my last wave. Oh well its life i will buy one tomorrow. Tonight we are having a brai- aka BBQ on the brick grill outside. Also thought i would throw some local slang at you. Allot of stuff is mixed with Afrikaans which is the second language here brought by the Dutch.
Braai-barbeque
lacka-"right on"
Ahoy-"hello" haha my favorite. i always think of pirates.
howzit?
Bru- bro
shot-"thanks"
dankie-thank you
jorl-party
kif-good
dop-brink

Hey Nick! Looks like you are having a blast! I'm so jealous. Keep up the good postings and photos. Hoping we may see you in the bay area on your way home. Let us know when you have an idea of when and if that will be. Missed Reggae on the River with your folks. Maybe next year. It was a great show, best were Barrington Levy, Don Carlos with Sly & Robbie, and Bunny Wailer. Lots of sunshine and irie-ness. Much love - KR Supah Stah
