So yesterday liz and i arrived into puerto viejo as you read earlier. After eating the yummy jonny cakes we set off to find a friendwho was in a nearby hostel. Once we finally found the place we discoveredthat thehostesl was quite nice and decided to stay......
Lets fast forward later into that evening we decided to hangout with the kiwi's again andthey asked us to teach them about shizel and when to use this. This sparked probably the funniest conversation i have yet to have with a fellow traveler. First we had to explain to them that snoop uses shizel after every word so please use it as much as you possibly can! then we had to define to them what it ment. The most common way to use shizel is when your agreeing with someone. For example. Thats a nice bike.... "Fo shizel." We then had them practice using the word in the proper context. Imagion 4 kiwis sitting in the room trying to come up with ways they could useit in the conversation. As they sat there and added shizel to everyother word they said, Then i happed to say "word" as agreement to a statment they said. 'Word" when would you use that one of the asked. Liz and i then explaind its another form of agreement. and if you really want to make it really clear you agree tyou wouold say workd to your motha. They then assked wait...is it word to your motha or mother? and for the rest of the night they kept say oh i guess thats a "word" situation now wasnt it? lol add a very proper accent behind this and it had liz and i dying laughing. Quite commical really....word.
The beach is great and we are safe. Love you!

LMAO!! Dude, that is seriously the funniest story! I can just imagine how dorky they must have seemed; trying to internalize a deeper meaning behind "the shizle". LOL! great to hear from you, I cant wait form the next update! Oh, and here are some tips I looked up in Puerto Viejo:
