Day 7-10: Getting Comfy in San Pedro

We originally planned on staying San Pedro for 4 or 5 days. Lindsey was ready to go, but I was just getting comfortable. I loved the people that were staying at Casa Felipe with us. By day 10, some old friends left, and some new came. Just loads of quality people. 

One of the spots that I couldn't stop coming back to was Jaku. It was the restaurant with the best bang for your buck. These beef fajitas were 30Q ($3.94)

I've been spending lots of time at the beach.

Reading, swimming, watching the rain come in over the mountains, soaking in sun, drinking beer and conversing with the new friends.

This Chilean girl is currently a independent natural therapist, but she's been practicing with banderas (flags), and she'd like to one day do it with fire in the circus. She understands English, but chooses to only speak in Spanish. She was very sweet and patient.

This is David, the Italian. He doesn't normally wear a pirate hat, or sunglasses. He's probably the most nomadic guy staying at Casa Felipe. He was making and selling pasta in Mexico for 6 months, and soon he'll be headed to Canada to pick cherries. He understands English, but chooses to speak in Spanish. He loves Italy, but in order to pay rent he'd have to spend all of his time working. "That's not a real life," and so he has been traveling and making pasta. He is 40 years old. He is young at heart, but full of wisdom.

The is Mikeal. There is a long long story here. Essentially he is a pirate. His mom is a Guatemalan Jahova's witness, and his dad is Isreali. He is kind of crazy, and consumes a lot of questionable things. He works at the club Sublime, and sleeps on the bunk above mine. He is super friendly and overall good guy. 

I did not realize that he was gay, and thought he was being friendly when he started bringing me free drinks when I was at Sublime. In my defense I told him I didn't want any more drinks, but rum and pineapple juice kept coming. In the end I got a few more mustached kisses than I bargained for. That's the skinny.
