San Miguel | Day 80
This morning, we got up at 8 because Herbert had offered to drive us to San Miguel if we got up early. They think we sleep so much but we just leave the house late because there’s not much to do out in the heat all day! Anyways I was a little apprehensive about being…

Chapeltique Park | Day 79
Today, we’d been planning to go to Chapeltique and San Miguel to see the surrounding cities, but Kara had to wake me up, or I probably would’ve slept all day. We wanted to go to Chapeltique yesterday, but Mayra said the mototaxis (tuk-tuks) weren’t running because it was Sunday. Today would’ve been good, but since…

Laundry Day | Day 78
This morning, I woke up to music blaring from the main house. We got out of the guest house late again, walking across the yard around 11. Mayra prepared us breakfast and told us that Don René (the grandpa) loves music so he puts it really loud. It was really cute to watch. Mayra made…

Planning Day | Day 77
Today, we got up very late. We didn’t wake up late, per se, but we did stay and hang out in the air-conditioned rooms until we couldn’t wait any longer to eat. Kara came to hang out in my room and play cards while I blogged for a while before breakfast. We were having fun…

Going to see René | Day 76
Today I woke up at 8 and went out to the kitchen to make coffee. I also drank a peach yogurt drink we picked up last night on the way back to our hostel. Once Kara got up and came outside, she made some bean and cheese quesadillas with ingredients we had left over from…

Cafe Day 2 | Day 75
This morning, I woke up earlier (I’d set an alarm for 8). I went outside to make coffee and sat at the dining table. I worked a bit on yesterday’s blog and called Soph since she doesn’t have classes on Thursdays. I sat out in the kitchen until Kara got up and then we went…

Cafe Day | Day 74
This morning, I slept in until 11AM. I guess I was tired because even then Kara had to wake me up! I got up and went to the kitchen to make some instant coffee. I finished the leftover pasta salad we made in San Salvador along with some roasted broccoli. I then had my favourite…

Moving Day, Back to the Beach | Day 73
This morning, I woke up at 7 because we have a LOT of things to do before 11am checkout. I went downstairs and made coffee, pulled my laundry off the clothes lines in the laundry room, played a game of solitaire, made a smoothie and went upstairs to pack my clothes. When my big backpack…

New Phone in San Salvador | Day 72
Surprise! We’re skipping a few days. It’s a long story but essentially, yesterday, my phone completely stopped working and refuses to turn on or respond to any recovery attempts. We’re currently in San Salvador (a big city, thank goodness) and were able to get to an apple store today to try to figure out what…
