The 2nd Annual Earthship Pitaya Festival is fast approaching and there is a definitive buzz about town. This years festival promises to be an experience not to miss, with 6 fantastic musical acts, games, tours of Nicaragua's premier Earthship and an early morning yoga workshop. In the musical department this year we are starting things off with Traveling Talent, which is going to be a 2 hour showcase of some of the finest Open Mic performers in town. If you are interested in performing at this years festival, please come out to Thursday Open Mic nights at Pau Hana and talk to either Matty or James.  After that we have Guadalajara Joe, who is a hip hop artist from California, the infamous Matty Powell of Saskatchewan, Canada who's been entertaining audiences in San Juan for quite some time, Marea Llena who are based in San Juan will be doing some Nicaraguan folk music, the ever loved Don Bigote y Los Pobrecitos will be returning this year to get you dancing into the night, Monroy y Surmenage a well known Nicaraguan rock band sponsored by Movistar will be finishing the live music portion of the evening and then finally, to keep you dancing as the full moon rises we have Johnny G djing. There will be tons of great food vendors as well to make sure you're well fed and of course plenty of beer to cool you off. There will be transportation available to the site, so check out the next edition of Del Sur to see where to wait for the buses. You don't want to miss this years festival, it will be an experience of a lifetime.

There were another people at the beach today, but not surfers.  This girl was enjoying the morning by practicing yoga.
