So after Santa Theresa, we headed by taxi to Montezuma. We were supposed to stay another night at the Funky Monkey, but we were told there was no more space...
Montezuma is another beach town with a cute little downtown area, and some beautiful waterfalls... Last night we stayed at a place called Hotel Lucy, but as I am slightly spoiled, and not afraid to admit it, I couldnt stand the conditions of our hotel and moved today to a nicer one called Hotel Aurora. We had a supppperrrr tiny room with 6 beds and a fan and it was unbareably hot and uncomfortable. We already had paid for 2 nights ($10 a night!) but I bounced out of there a night early, leaving my $10 as a parting gift. Lilly is staying there again tonight, then maybe meeting me at my hotel tomorrow.
Today we climbed up some tretcherous landscape to explore and see 3 waterfalls. I climbed up the side of a waterfall, but slipped a little bit, and landed on my ribs and now they are totally sore. But it didnt stop me from jumping off and into the water, or climbing the mountains to more waterfalls.
I have also realized how diffucult it can be to travel with someone. Lilly and I are having our ups and downs as a traveling team and mostly, I would rather be by myself. Staying by myself tonight in my hotel room will be good for me.
I am getting excited to come home. I have 3 more days here, and then I will be on my way back. I am not ready for responsibilty, or going back work, or facing some things that I have happily been able to avoid, but I miss my friends and family, and the american lifestyle. I miss my house and my nonie! I miss super clean bathrooms and straight answers. It has been an incredible journey, so fun, so mind-opening, so life changing, but all journeys have to end.
Tomorrow I am beaching it up for one last hot, sunny, beachy day, then Saturday AM heading back to San Jose to stay with Mami for one last night. Sunday AM bright and early I will be heading back to Chi-town with a suitcase full of presents for everyone! I will try to write again on Saturday night (when I dont have to pay for internet!).
