After a late night, I slept right through the morning. Stopped off at the grocery store for some breakfast food and ate it on the hostel couch. The Gold Cup had just ended, but the South American tourney, Copa America, had just started in Argentina. I watched two matches before realizing I had pretty much just wasted away an entire day. But hey, I was enjoying myself, even though yes, you can watch TV any time in the States. But you can't watch soccer, which is always better with Spanish-speaking announcers.
Tried heading out with Sophie and Yvonne to the beach, but the bike rental place only had two left, so I let them head out. Instead, I caught up on all the blog posts I missed while in Corcovado and had my laundry done.
We had been invited to a barbecue that one of the hostel workers was hosting at his house. We all took at taxi boat over to his waterfront house, where I pretty much stood at the edge of the ocean and watched the sun go down. At the party we had a few cervezas, talked about how awesome it was that these guys get to live in a place as beautiful as this, and nearly starved to death. Panama time is a little behind schedule sometimes. But the meat and potatoes were fantastic, the wait- worth it. Definitely a cool thing to be invited to a local's own house.
Eventually the night drew to a close and we took a taxi boat back to the main island. Tomorrow we'll head back across the border to Puerto Viejo. Only a few more days left to go down here, seems like it's gone by so fast. I can't believe that a few days into the trip I was considering cutting it short; now I wish I could double my time here. There's definitely a lot to learn from traveling abroad, especially on your own. I'm thankful for being here, and for the experiences I've had. But there's still a couple more days ahead. Time to make the most of it.
