Lazy Days

February 8, 2011
So time seems to be going faster and faster. I can't believe its already the 8th and I only have like 3 months left of our trip. Tonight is our last night in San Pedro. We booked a bus tomorrow morning at 8:15 to Antigua and we will spend a couple nights there checking out the city. Our plans really do change daily. Today was the best lazy day. Started out with breakfast at our favourite spot for coffee and then a beer on the docks and then poutine and cocktails by the pool at La Pescina (Quebecois owned). The sad part of leaving is that we have to say goodbye to Lauren and Dustin our pals from Vancouver. We will hopefully hook up with them again along the way. I will miss our games of monopoly cards and thier sweet jumping off cliff moves! I can't believe how many expats live here! Almost every gringo (stomach) friendly establishment is run by either an irishperson, canadian, american or brit it seems. There is this strip of restaurants and travel agents that's fondly called gringo alley and I went for a walk there by myself to get some bus tickets and the heckling was ridiculous. Girls can't even walk around without someone yelling "hey chicka!" and what the hell is that supposed to mean anyways? what am i going to do turn around and be like "oh hey! you wanted to talk to me or something" or "i think that you are a much cooler person now that you have yelled at me! lets be friends!". Lauren's friend Leah is here in San Pedro making jewelry out of forks. They also make some pretty sweet jewelry out of thier money! One Quetzal earings! They bend them so that they are convex shaped and then drill a hole in the top and attach an earing piece. I'm not sure our money would look very nice bent and made into earings but its a cool idea.
