This is the bar we went to on Saturday night. There are a bunch of little drink stands set up along one of the road with chairs around them so we just sat outside this bar most of the night. We had some good, fruity, beachy drinks and then went home early, which for Montanita was around 2 AM. We had to wake up at 4 AM the next morning though to go to Puerto Lopez to go fishing. I don´t know how I fell asleep cause it was so loud. I felt like I fell asleep in a club and woke up again in a club cause everyone was still out partying when we woke up at 4. I forgot to bring my camera on the boat when we were in Puerto Lopez but I´ll steal some pictures from Jesse when I can and post them up.

This is a photo of Erica, Kelly, Dani and Jessica. Erica is Jesse and Nicki´s friend from school, Kelly is another volunteer I met in Quito and Dani lives in the house where Jessica is staying. It was a big mix of people and we just kept inviting more and more along.

Jesse, Nicki and I at the beach. The sun was really strong there but it was pretty cloudy in the morning. The sun came out by the afternoon though which was nice. The water in Montanita was perfect. It wasn´t too cold and felt really nice to go in since the sun was so hot.

This is a picture of the town. It´s all sand/dirt roads and no one walks around with shoes on. Jesse came to meet us at the bus stop without shoes which I didn´t really get until I got there and realized that no one was wearing shoes. There are a ton of hostals, restaurants and bars. It´s so loud at night and people don´t go out until late so the party lasts until really early in the morning.

Last weekend I went to visit Jesse and Nicki with a bunch of other friends on the coast in a small little surfing town called Montanita. I never expected to see so many hippies in one place in Ecuador. It was really fun though. Friday night we took a night bus to Guayaquil, left at 11 PM and got in at 7 AM. Then we took a more local bus from there to Montanita. When we got there about 3 hours later we went out for breakfast then went to the beach all day. This is a picture of the outside porch area at the hostal where we stayed. These hammocks were great.
I am so jealous! It looks like you are having a great time!!!! Keep it up and have a drink on the beach for me! I love you and miss you!
