Puerto Rico: Day 2

Day two started with a walk through the hood, in the Condado area. Since we were LOST, we decided to jump on a bus and befriend some locals. We met a local named "Adam" and he told us how to get to Isla Verde, a touristy place with nice hotels and casinos. We checked that out, played some craps, won some money, and then decided to go out on another hike.


Being the Valley degenerates that we are, we wanted to see some of the hood. We walked east for about 5 miles and found a place that made the Valley look like the south of France. There were some locals hanging out everywhere eating crab on a toothpick (the Puerto Rican version of hot dog on a stick). There were stray dogs and stray chickens everywhere that would one day nourish the next generation of locals. We ordered some fish, the waiter went out to the beach, caught a fish, and gave it to us. Afterwards we hit the beach for a while and headed back to Isla Verde.

On our way we experienced the authenticity of Puerto Rico, a Cock Fight! (And I'm not talking about two guys playing swords; Video on right) We paid a hefty $10 to go into the "arena" that held the cockfight. Inside were a bunch of degenerates yelling at each other and making bets amongst one another. All of the chickens were on display so you could examine them prior to the fight and see what one you think is going to win. Many people have asked me about the details of the fight itself. Basically, the two chickens peck each other, get a little bloody, and some guy screams "Gane" on a microphone. There is a game clock of 14 min (no shot clock) but the fight is usually ended when one cock was bleeding a lot and wasn't really fighting anymore. Pretty degenerate business.

That night we went to Senor Frogs and met some girls from New Jersey. We went back to their hotel at about 4 am and went swimming. Jersey is gross; apparently everyone smokes there and talks about Rutgers like they have a good football team. When they took us to their Jacuzzi, there was a French couple having sex in it. We shook hands with the French, and they continued to have sex right in front of us in the Jacuzzi (true story). We though they were setting the mood for the Jersey girls, but the girls had a slightly different objective- stealing Sizzle's phone. Unfortunately, they succeeded. However, they got the rotten end of that deal because we saw them later with some shady locals all over them. So ya, Karma.
