Fun at the hostel

---

I arrived at the airport in Cancun at around 12:30 local time. I was easily able to use the ATM to get money and I had no problems getting a bus to downtown Cancun to the bus station, where I caught a local bus to Puerto Juarez, where I took a ferry to Isla Mujeres.

Isla Mujeres seems like sort of a typical Mexican tourist town, with shops selling beach stuff and supposedly authentic artifacts. I was able to get a cheap meal for around 25 pesos and had a nice conversation with the woman that ran the restaurant.

I checked into the hostel and promptly slept for a couple of hours, as I had gotten only two or three hours of sleep the night before. When I woke up, there was salsa music playing in the main area and there were plenty of people drinking beers, dancing, and having a good time. I met people from the states, South Africa, Norway, Canada, and Australia over the course of the night. I met a couple of Americans that work for US Airways and I am traveling with them today to Chichen Itza.

It was a good day yesterday, even though I was not able to get to the beach because I realized that I had forgotten my flip-flops at home. I have also forgotten the USB cable for my camera, so I am at this point unable to download pictures to a computer from my camera. Hopefully at some point along the way I will be able to find a cable to upload pictures to this blog, but my camera luckily has plenty of storage, enough to last me a couple of weeks at least.

Hola miel. I am still here! Still reading your blogs, and staying updated with with your life and the latest. Sounds like Cozumel wasn't the place to be; glad you've found your "home" at IsDeMujeres. Oh, guess what?! Bloc Party is playing in Berkeley on August 3 at the Greek?!!!! Could be worth a trip to the Bay Area... Bye for now. Ito.
