Trying to explain "Burning Man" to somebody who doesn't know is difficult enough in english. It's near impossible in Spanish and to locals who've never left San Juan Del Sur. After a while, I started saying "it's a ritual to bring good waves", to which they would nod and say "OK". Anyway, we stuck him in the busiest intersection in town and lit him on fire with kerosene and diesel fuel - please don't try this at home. After drawing a small crowd and one dancing man, he burned for a while and then fell face first in the street. Mission accomplished, Hot Carl smiled and went home happy.
