Billete?

The owners of the hotel are lovely. Her name is Elena, his Xavier (it´s his last name, but he goes by Xavi). We sat on the porch in front of the hotel and internet cafe and simply chatted the day away. There are only 2 internet cafes in Montañita and this one gets tons of traffic making it great for people watching. They also run a tour agency out of the hotel and a cute kid named Carlos teaches surfing lessons. They call Carlos ¨billete¨ but I don´t understand why...the word means the paper used to create and print money. He´s a compact kid and lean, but I don´t get the correlation. (AH! as I´m loading this onto the computer, a friend just explained...it means buck! HA!) By the end of the night, we had emptied the refrigerator of Pilsener and Brahma both.
