So I went to the fabulous beach here in Ecuador. In the city of Montanita. I took a 6 hour bus trip with my friend Jasmine and we made it during the night. Can I just say I hate national music here in Ecuador and movies that have so much action there is no dialogue and there is a reason they didn't make it in the box office. I was subjected to both on my trip there and back. But, it was great once I was there. I stayed in a house with some guy friends the first night and a hotel next door the next night. It was super fun. We had mosquito netting that looked like it was a princess bed. Double purpose! looks cool and protects you! haha. Anyway, I got a lot of beach time in the morning, it was so nice! I even found a couple sand dollars! Some were still alive so I threw them back. I could have learned to surf because apparantly there are no sharks here, but I didn't feel like eating seawater up my nose that day, so watching the amateurs was fun! I got a trenza in my hair too! It's when they rap hemp and some beads around a piece of you hair. The guy said it could stay for up to a year! haha. We'll see. I like it though. I got a fake tatoo as well! I had a lot of fun walking around and buying jewelry. I stayed in the actual town called Olon, which is like 2 minutes away from the action in Montanita, so We HITCHHIKED! wahoo! It was a first, but we ended up doing it like 5 times. I think the bathing suits helped, just kidding(well one time I was wearing my bathing suit). Anyway, there aren't really frequent buses and taxes are people in old cars say taxi. So you can just flag someone down and sometimes they charge you a quarter other times they think you're cute and just drop you off. It was fun. I stuck my thumb out and everything, finally I can use my hitchhikers thumb!
Anyway, I got sunburnt, but it has turn to a lovely bronze color! haha. I want to go back, I couldn't remember why I had to come back to Cuenca when i was there. It was like there was a memory block on the reason to come back. So me staying with the boys created soem jealousy issues with the boyfriend since I had a fiasco with two, before. basically they were fighting over me like a teenage flick! Que ridiculo! Anyway, it was worth it and invite anyone who wants to come visit me to the beach! love you all and hope to be planning a trip to a waterfall nearby to show you the pics!
