Coco Loco

The last week or so has been nice. the first 3 days i had a dorm room to myself in a hostel that is literally on the beach. well, its actually across the street (dirt road) from the beach, but the ground around it is all sand. yesterday (i think, im kinda loosing a sense of time, which is nice) a canadian travelling with an irishman and two dutch guys showed up. they´re all nice, and the brit that works at the hostel is cool. and there is a aussie woman staying there too. we got a little game of soccer going on the beach today too.

not much else is going on, life right now is very tranquilo. ive been surfing a couple times, once on a long board and once on a really small board, which is harder, and i thought i would totally fail, but for some reason i was able to get up on it, maybe my history of snowboarding. im headed back out in a few minutes, while the sun is shining, which doesnt happen too often here. ive been making all my food lately, which is kinda fun, and gives me something to do when theres not much else going on.

headed back to quito tomorrow, and then into the amazon, so that should produce some fairly good posts, sorry this one is kinda boring.

Glad you got some sun finally. Sounds like you're running into lots of fellow travelers but what about locals? Are people receptive to gringos? Are most of the hostels run by foreigners?
On another note - have you needed the anti-malarial meds yet. Are mosquitos a problem?
