HI everyone. So I finally hit a wall in Puerto Escondido. The place was run by a crazy man named Steve who I came to be very fond of. He ran around the hostel screaming at everyone and always was kicking Lacy and I out of our room to make room for more people. We were in our 3rd room which happened to be his own room which he gave up to sleep in a hammock. Well the day after we slept in there the first night we were hung over. For some reason no matter how many drinking games nor how much tequila we drink the Tower Bridge had good healing properties and we woke up feeling fine. So this perticular morning we were feeling extremely under the weather and decided to watch movies all day on Steve´s TV. He mentioned to Lacy and I that we shouldn´t use the toilet because being Mexico and all the plumbing wasn´t working properly. So we were the only two aware. He however had moved two of our guy friends into his house as well that day to make even more room...well needless to say the toilet was used without us knowing and we watched a whole movie until we found out that our entire room had been floaded with gross toilet water. My whole bag and most of our clothes. So we freaked out and started crying. Our Australian guy friends really helped us out by packing up all our wet stuff immediately and taking it to the laundry. So we just had to wash out our bags and delay our departure till later the next day while we waited for our laundry which Steve kindly paid for. Then still being clumbsy I had sat in his recliner to paint my toe nails. Forgetting I placed my nail polish on my lap I stood up and shattered the polish all over his white tile. Quickly I sprinted to the store about 3 blocks away and got some remover and it was all clean before he returned to bitch at me :)
The next day we moved to a small little town about 1hr south of Puerto. We took a cab here with our two Aussie friends as it only cost about 7dollars each this way and didn´t have to deal with night buses. A great game which passed the time was the name game ( you all know it say a celebrity and the next person says one with the first name the same letter as the previous last). Once in Mazunte we met our Danish girlfriends and just hung out in this town with only one bar and not much else to do. During the day though we were able to go visit some crocodiles! They were cool we took a little boat with a guide up a swamp. We saw some big boys and then there was a sanctuary on an island where they protected the baby ones (so cute) and a very aggressive pregnant one. I met this little anteater who I fell in love with...so cute. Finally we were able to see sea turtles hatch and hold them!
Now we are in Zipolite and I love it here too. I wish I were in the market to invest because this place is beautiful quiet and has great potential. Everyone is nice and tells you straight about how things are done. We hitched for the first time today to get to another town. This is not strange as everyone thinks kindly here. If they are going there why would they just be selfish and take themselves....so nice. Everything is getting cheaper the farther south we get. Today we moved to a beach front bungalow with a huge window opening to the water... we are so close our house is one stilts! Only 5 dollars each a night. Everyone is just so nice and the world is proving to be so small. Last night we ran into some people from our first night of the trip and today in the main town (45min away) where we went to get cash we ran into our old mate Steve from Tower Bridge. He just ran up behind us and scared us. Recognized us by our large shades. He must have secretly liked us even though he bitched at us all the time because he is coming by our hostel tonight for a Corona.
We also had an interesting experience on our combie (like a bus but cheaper and on the back of a pickup truck). A mid to late 30s hippy was the only one back there with us. He began to do some sort of leg left stretches in pants that had slits down the sides. I am definately too immature for this because it took all I had not to laugh out loud as he performed these the whole way. So funny. See ya in the next town. I think we will hopefully make it to Guatamala this week! Kisses
