Phrase of the day: No esta bien que yo pague mas por la merienda que por mi hotel cuarto este noche?... Is it bad that I paid more for dinner than for my hotel room tonight?
Definitely doesn't even matter! Today could not have been much better!
It began with a trip to Bahia in the Costa Norte; an open-aired bus that runs from San Isidro to San Vicente(near Bahia):
And by "in the Costa Norte", I of course mean "on top of the Costa Norte":
No worries, Bubs, it's probably safer than being inside. I mean, at least I can jump off if I see an accident coming. Plus, while holding on, my arms get a good workout as the driver dodges countless pot holes. Some views from the journey:
That was nice and all, but the best part (and real reason I went to Bahia for the night) was to talk to everyone that was at my house for dinner. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of my Dell-operator headset I used to skype you all. Traggic, I know. We are going to have to do that much more often now that I set up an account. (Sadly, internet is still a bit slow in San Isidro for skype though, so we'll have to plan out times when I can talk to everyone on the same day).
Seeing as how I was not in rice-ville, I figured I'd go a bit crazy. I opened up my handy Lonely Planet guide, and ended up at Arena Bar for dinner:
My crucial meal began with a Mora Batido (Blackberry Fruitshake):
Followed by Ensalada de Frutas Tropical (Tropical Fruit Salad):
Pizza Vegetariana (Vegi Pizza):
And Frutas con Chocolate (Fruits with Chocolate Sauce):
Yeah, that was a bit ridiculous. It probably was one of the most expensive meals in Bahia, but also the best I've had in a month. After dinner, I was lucky and was able to talk to some of you again on skype. By far, best day as a volunteer yet!
Flower picture of the day (Yes, I am trying to take crucial shots like Big Uncle!):
ps: If you are curious, I paid $16 for dinner and $15 for my hotel room.
