Montañita: First impressions
the bus pulled away leaving me in a sandy seaside town.
i took a strole around with the bag on my back and was spotted by a little boy who insisted on tagging along to help me find a hostel. in fairnesss to him, just as i was about to try ans shake him off, he got me a good deal. double room for $5 a night and a stones throw from all the action.
my room has no window, just a mesh where the glass would be.
the people here seem to be a mix of travellers, surfers, hippies, locals and anything in between. life seems very relaxed here. the music is playing non stop. the little old lady who is my landlord said something like "this place is lovely.. parties every night! " hehe
can catch up on the latest "telenovelas" (south american soaps) on the neighbours tv from my hammock hehe.
the evening air is warm. theres hardly even a need for walls.
one of the nighclubs was playing techno so i popped in to check it out at about 11.40pm
its the first time i have seen a nightclub with a sand floor, a campfire , a hammock.....
...and a cat.... ( see thats why i like cats , they appreciate the finer things in life)
.. some fire tricks.
the club soon filled up. stays open until 4am on weekdays, 8am on weekends.. sounds promising!

Great photos Matt. On the subject of cats, I once spent St Patrick's night, my birthday, with some friends in a pub called Geronimo's in Amsterdam. The owner loved cats and there were cats all around the pub, walking on the tables, sleeping on the tables and the seats. Guests would have to almost beg the cats to move and let them sit down.
