DAY 2: San Pedro

The first day of waking up on the road has been very pleasant. After having a couple of cups of coffee at Mikaso Hotel, we walked the streets. 

The streets don't have names. They are too narrow for cars. Dogs abound. We started really thinking in Spanish, and had many successful conversations as we walked. 

Almost everyone has a motorcycle. 

We walked around for a few hours, and then found this boat, and asked it to take us to a town across the lake. It was 15Q, which is $2 per person. 

We landed near San Marco, walked into town. Cadari and I were asked to join a pretty intense game of basketball. 

So who are these mysterious adventure teammates??

Lindsey and Cadari! Having only seen them once or twice in person before our plane ride down, it's been really nice to get to know them. There is one more teammate coming, Ramsey. He's trying to get his house rented. He will arrive June 14th. 

There is a lot going on right now, and I'm not exactly sure how to explain how I'm feeling. Being off the clock feels very natural, but also so different. The lake absolutely beautiful, and the people are so friendly. For goodness sake, check out where i'm blogging from: 

All this and it is 2pm. Planning out the week, I'm hoping to do a 3 hour hike up the volcano and go Kayaking. Mini-retirement hasn't been too shabby thus far.
