Just Gotta Go with the Flow

So we are still in Punta Sal in Peru. The plan of leaving yesterday fell through when Ben decided it wasn´t really worth it for him to travel up into Ecuador and then have to take 2 days to get back to Lima to catch his flight. So we decided to lounge here until Friday and then Ben will catch a bus back to Lima and Keri and I will head north to Ecuador. We will be starting at the beach town of Montañita -- sorry spelled it wrong in last post. We´ve heard good things and there look to be some really cute places to stay.

Keri and I are quite happy with our "absolutely no firm plans" approach to this trip. We have set up a deep sea fishing trip tomorrow for the morning. Our plan is to catch our dinner! Yesterday, we went into Mancora to get money from the ATM -- that should tell you how small this little beach town is that we are staying in -- and get groceries that aren´t extraordinarily expensive. We cooked dinner last night and were planning on going to a huge party to celebrate the anniversary of Punta Sal, but after the previous night´s party and the overall lack of sleep due to the music and late nights at the Loki, we all fell asleep around 9pm on the lounge chairs on the deck. We had to rouse ourselves to tell our new bartender friend that we wouldn´t be joining him for the party. I think I finally slept a full night for the first time in a week and a half.

Keri and Ben went off on a date today, so that left me just hanging by myself on the deck and in the pool. I am going to go hang out with Gian, our bartender friend, until he finishes his morning shift and then we will probably go down to the beach to go fishing with the other guys that work in the hotel. They do that in the afternoons. Maybe I will catch something.

Hopefully, the next time I write something, I will be in Ecuador!!!
