2/16  I thought I would tell you a little about our place.  The 4 of us are sharing a room, 1 double bed and 2 bunkbeds.  Since Bob and G are much taller, they have the double bed.  It has been a long time since I have slept in a top bunk.  The room is small, but comfortable.  The place looks very tropical with lots of palms, and other types of trees, hammocks, nice walkways, and I love the outdoor kitchen and eating area.  I took some pictures for later.  There is one very long table with benches that we all eat at.  Dinner time is so fun, with everyone cooking their own meals at the same time.  Perfect time to meet them all.  There are couples from Holland, London, Germand (Hamburg), Russia, Columbia.  Many of them are "kids" in their early 30s.  Everyone back home thought our trip was quite the adventure.  Most of these people are doing 6 to 10 month trips.  Not sure where they are all getting their money.  G thinks they are what is known as "trust fund babies".  Must be nice.    All so friendly, interesting and smart people.  I think we are the only ones so far that we have met that are from the United States.  One of the men we were talking to commented on how Americans just dont know how to live.  Way to much work.  Maybe he has a point.
It is very humid here today.  But somehow it feels good.  Other than the Nature Preserve, today is a down day.  We have literally walked 8 to 10 hours a day.  Today is all about the pool, hammock and a good book. some wine, and tonight we are off to the little town for some local food, and tango.  Cant wait.
Our trip on Monday will be about 1500km.  But since we are flying, that is an easy one.  We are thinking we will be entering some cooler weather.  The place we booked is a couple of blocks from the beach, with lots of outdoor space.  I cant believe how much I love just being outside.  We have not watched one minute of TV, no phones and other than these blogs and making reservations, no computer time either.  Facebook and all the rest.... just not important.
I do miss not knowing what is going on at home with the family, but I have a gotten a couple of emails and that is very nice.  We did see in a local paper about the meteor, the blade runner and the oscars. 
Time for breakfast (included with our hostel).  Rolls, cereal, Tang (yup, thats their version of orange juice), homemade breadfast cake and a couple of times there were scrambled eggs.  Nothing fancy, but fills our tummies.
Oh, by the way, we found out that where we thought we were seeing all 3 countries at the same time, was not the right place. Funny, huh.   So maybe tonight, before dinner, we will take a walk to the right place.
Just got back from the nature preserve and we also visited a place that rebuilt what the missions used to look like.  Most of the buildings were built from the Aripuca tree and some of the logs were larger than the sequoias we saw in California.  A few were about 1000 yrs. old.  It was really interesting.  The nature preserve was cool.  They take in hurt, sick or abandoned animals.  The ones that are close to being endangered, they keep for reproduction and then the babies are released into the wild.  The ones that are not endangered and nursed back to health and released.  We saw tucans, tapirs, capuchkin monkies, and lots of other exotic animals.
G and I took our turn going to the grocery store for lunch supplies.  We ate a quick lunch and then the boys took a nap and we went for a swim.  It is really hot and humid today. 
I am trying to unload my pictures from the camera onto an external hard drive, but the computer only has 1 usb port, so thats not possible.
Hopefully the next place will have what I need.
