Rainshine

The weather here is pretty fun. It's either hot as hell and sunny, or hot as hell and raining. In this case, it was sunny and raining! Neat!

That's our transport van that we get around town with.

What's that? You want more sunset pictures?

Back on the Toña Train

Wednesday was a great day, because I had my first Toña in daaaaays! Im doing the early shift this week, which gives me a nice late afternoon to wander the town, hang on the beach, grab a beerski and watch another ridiculous sunset. Anytime the sun is out and about, I have to be outside, even though it makes me sweaty. You never know when it'll rain the whole entire day. For example, yesterday.

Wednesday afternoon, at around 5 or so, it was like the social hour on the streets. All the store owners grab a chair, bring it outside and probably gossip about the gringos walking around. It was pretty cool to see, but then I was shy about taking pics. I did find this one though, for Friendo's friendo.

Waiting to Inhale

In honor of being able to breathe through both nostrils, and appreciating the finer things in life, I'm gonna post some pics of things I really love. Colorful buildings! Sunsets!

That's the other view from the hammock. The last 2 days it's been perfectly breezy, really quiet and peaceful. I literally lay there for hours. Then of course something walks underneath me and I'm SURE it's a rat of some kind. Surely you can imagine me trying to quickly get OUT OF A HAMMOCK. It turned out to be a crow, and it flew away into the tree. Damn crows. But still, it's the best place to be.

Is That Thund-- BOOM

Ok. I don't think I've ever heard rain like this ever in my life ever ever eva. Aaand I'm working the late shift tonight. Suuuhweet. Seriously.... the rain is pounding, the thunder be all loud and stuff, and the lightning is briiiight. Pretty cool/scary/really scary.

The pics won't ever do it justice, but at least you can see the pretty trailers we all work in!

If I Had A Nica for Every Pink Sunset

Not too much new to report... If walking to work on the beach isn't the best part of my day, watching the sunset is. Everything else in between consists of eating and sweating and working. I haven't had much of free day to explore any other parts of the town or surrounding beaches, but I will eventually!

So, the bugs... The GD bugs. Eventually, I should get used to it, but for now, I assume the kung-fu position for every noise and flutter I here. The other night a grasshopper flew into my hair, can you imagine. Then there's this guy:
