Up the Giants Foot

The past few days have been pretty good.

The other day we had a 5.1 earthquake just off the coast of where we are living.  Apparently it shook the whole house, unfortunately I was swimming so I didn't even feel it.  I kinda wish I could've felt it but I suppose it's just good that it wasn't big enough to mess anything up.

After the earthquake, we enjoyed the afternoon in the sun swimming and laying around and then decided to hike up the Giants foot to see the sunset.  The hike was pretty interesting.  I was wearing flip flops and I didn't realize that there were sections of the hike that were basically vertical rock climbing sections.  Haha, I probably should have wore some shoes but it turned out fine so I guess flip flops were a fine choice.

After we got back from the giants foot, we had delicious homemade hamburgers and frozen chocolate bananas.  Dinner was so good.  I went to bed early because I was exhausted.  It's really strange being in a place where the sun is up from 6 am to 6 pm every single day.  I end up getting up at 5:30 and going to bed at 8:30 - 9 pm.  Such a weird schedule.  Got up at 5:30 the next morning and headed up to the property for a good morning of work.  I sanded posts for a while which will be used as knee braces between the beams and the support posts.  There is still a lot of work to do but it is coming along for sure.  We came home for siesta and went back up to do a little bit more work until sunset.  Went to bed early and got up early again haha rinse and repeat.

The next day we got up and went up to work for the morning, however we had a short day since we had to come home and get ready for the College Dropout party hosted at the restaurant next door (Celle Pamalos).  My cousin apparently likes to take any opportunity to dress ridiculously so he decided he would dress up in a diaper.  Ridiculous.  I decided to be one individual from a cheering section of a college sporting event. The party was pretty crazy, there were a lot of people from the community including a bunch of people who are at a yoga retreat at Agua.  The people at the retreat are apparently learning to be come yoga instructors.  They were probably some of the fittest girls I've ever seen.  Pretty awesome.  Went to bed around 9:30 as the party was dieing out at that point anyways.  I was also having trouble staying awake haha.  I was unfortunately really sick for a few hours last night and just haven't been feeling 100 % today.  So I've been trying to drink lots of fluids and decided to make an update to this blog.  There are currently 3 votes on the mustache style which is exciting.  It looks like the friendly mutton chops are currently in the lead.  But we'll see when it gets closer to Feb 14.  If you have an alternative suggestion, just leave a comment in one of the posts about it.

Anyways, I'll try and do something interesting to talk about in the next few days.  But I can't guarantee anything.
