Since everything was closed the past 4 days, I first woke up to the large danish crowd making some noise around 8 in the kitchen/dining area which lasted about twenty minutes...then woke up again around 1030am from loud construction projects going on in and around the hostel. I hung out in my hammock outside for about 10 minutes to wake up. I saw David and asked him what cabaña I was moving to today. Since I was originally going to move after a week, they already rented the cabaña I was staying in out. He told me I could move upstairs in a few hours to 18. I started to get everything together for the move. I saw Rob awake on his Hammock and Rahul walking around, so the three of us went to breakfast at ... read more

So I crawled into bed around 630/7am this morning and ended up waking up at 930/10am and couldn´t get back to sleep!!! I headed to Tiki Limbo for some tea and apple pie which really hit the spot. Afterwards I went back to the hostal to nap in my hammock as much as possible. Around 5pm I met up with Emma and headed into town for dinner. We ran into Steffi and her friend Brennan who joined us. After dinner I headed back for another nap to prepare for another long night...needless to say it didn´t happen because as soon as I laid down, the music started up in town. Around 9pm, Emma came knockin on my door so we headed out. Things were looking good for a hook-up session later tonight (and what´s more perfect ... read more

Hola. Well, the loud speaker guy never came by this morning so I was able to finally sleep in until I wanted! I had breakfast again at Tiki Limbo. Decided to go for a fruit, granola, and yogurt breakfast with some pineapple juice and tea. I'm becoming a regular so it's pretty nice. Braeden and I were talking today about the difference between tourists and travelers...tourists are the ones sitting in the expensive restaurants watching and making comments on the travelers who are eating and enjoying the street food. It's amazing to not feel like a tourist, I actually feel like I live here right now - great experience! We had class this morning from 10-12 again and learned some irregular verbs and conjugations of each. Afterwards we grabbed lunch at a new place that just ... read more

What a night. Needless to say I had a little trouble getting to sleep since I didn´t have my trusty fan with me. I had to fall asleep to crickets and dogs barking every once in a while. It finally happened. It was prety warm in the cabaña. I slept with a sheet and a light blanket under my mosquito net and had no problems with bugs...VERY nice! I awoke at 7am from a guy on a load speaker driving by yelling something. I don´t know what it was and I don´t care...why is he yelling in a loud speaker from his car so early in the morning?!?! I went back to sleep and woke up around 9 to finally go do some surfing. I threw on my board shorts and rashy and grabbed my bottle ... read more
