Day 65

I didn't get up till 10 a.m., and Meredith was making coffee. . . I love waking up to already-made coffee. I hung out at home till about 1:30, when I went to meet Meredith at Plaza San Miguel, where she had been running errands. We had lunch at Pizza Hut, and she had to rush out right after, so I went home on the bus myself. As I was walking from the bus stop to my building, I ran into Nadia, who was walking to meet up with Josue, Christian and Gabriel at a Chifa restaurant, so I went with her. It ended up being a really fun night of hanging out and just talking. After Chifa, we walked back to the church and hung out for a while before meeting up with Eden and Claudia. We went to Starbucks in San Isidro so I could get a hot drink (it actually got pretty chilly tonight) and then walked to this park in San Isidro that overlooks the ocean. We were there probably a full 2 hours talking, listening to music, laughing, and lying in the grass. Then the group walked me home and I watched the movie "Mona Lisa Smile" ("Sonrisa de Mona Lisa") by myself. I recently discovered a stash of movies at our apartment, and the nice thing about pirated movies is that they're in English with Spanish subtitles. Bien chevere (very cool).
