Leon

We've been in Leon since last sunday. I suppose after being robbed we just decided it was time to stop traveling. After our first night of realizing our missing pieces and being too tired to explore the city, we did end up finding a better hostel. So we've been at "Lazy Bones" since Monday, and it feels like a gated resort/community. For only $6/night we enjoy a pool, free internet, a pool table, free coffee, lovely beds, and absolutely no guests (keeps it quiet and makes us feel special when the the desk people come and tell us we have a visitor). It's very nice.

Monday and Tuesday were spent doing bullshit passport bullshit. I'll keep this short as it brings up a bit of tenseness inside of me... We spent at least 3 hours at the police department filing a police report with an officer who came up to us 3 times asking us if we wanted to file a report. What? Meanwhile, he kept returning to his air conditioned office while leaving us outside in the sweltering heat. He eventually did allow us to come in to the office to file our report, he sat in a plastic coca cola chair, as did we, and typed on a typewriter. I think I probably sat there giving him an angry annoyed stare for at least an hour. Luckily my translater was somewhat friendlier.

The rest of the week was mostly spent in the hostel, and out on the streets when we got hungry. Andrea found an awesome job and spent hours upon hours working on a rediculous application. So I basically hung out by the pool for three days. One of those days was spent having a pool volleyball competition within the hostel, they called it an invitational, but it was more a begg-atational. They pleaded enough and so we participated. We also met some sweet people
via couchsurfing and had some enjoyable nights drinking, dancing, drinking. And today we even went to see the ocean one last time. It's was salty, wavey, and lovely. Although it did come with a very hot sun, and not quite enough shade. But I am in no way complaining.
