At breakfast, Zetdi told Meleidy about the prostitute from the bar. Meleidy asked Leo if he got one too and something along the lines of being with her for an hour. Zetdi then chimed in saying that I was only with mine for 10 minutes. Thanks. [...]

At breakfast, Zetdi and I told the new students some helpful tips about the home and the town. They went as a group to the beach today so they took off around 9:30. Apparently, there are 14 other students from their school in indiana here as part of a [...]

Tuesday-Friday, 1-4 January

I have not been writing lately because I just have not felt like it. I have been doing pretty much the same thing everyday, so it has not been worth writing about. Wake-up, breakfast, go to internet cafe to look for job, bang my head against the wall, eat, look some more, [...]

This morning I was supposed to meet Maria at the beach at 8am again, but I just did not move very quickly so I ended up catching the 8am bus and got there at 8:30. I could not find Maria anywhere so I sat in the shade for a while and read [...]

A lot of people left this morning – about 7-10 people. Our van was supposed to arrive at 8am but did not show up until 8:30. I was getting worried that there was another communication problem and we were going to miss the ride. Unfortunately, this was [...]

This morning our ride to go to Selventura did not show up so we went downtown to the tour company to see what happened. Apparently, there was miscommunication so they got us a taxi to the place. We got there just as people were getting geared up for the canopy tour [...]

When I got back to the hostel last night, I met some new people. One was a lady from Russia – it took my awhile to place her accent, but once she said where she was from it was obvious. She lives in NY and was surprised to hear that we [...]

While hiking in the forest, I took a video to record the sound of the rain falling. I closed the camera so the video is black – wanted you to pay attention to the sound, not the images. Listen to the cloud forest.

Below are my photos from the Santa Elena Cloud [...]
