For the new year I went to a semi-nearby beach about 5 hrs away by bus called Porto López. It was pretty and tranquilo, got to see the sunset and just pass time on the peace. For new years here they have all these dolls and they burn them in the streets…I’m not sure why or the significance of it but basically the dolls just scared me the entire week or so leading up to the night because some of them are actually life sized and you think that theyre real people. After the countdown there was a huge dance party in the street with accompanied doll burning and fireworks. It was fun. This is the town that you have witness whale watching between July and September so I definitely want to go back to be able to see that. Theres also an island nearby where you can see lots of boobies---blue footed boobies that is. I want to go to that too.
While I was gone I told my neighbors (kids) to watch my cats and feed them for me and I would pay them 25 cents a day. However unfortunately when I returned I was told that my one black cat (the better, more friendly one) Leila brought to live on the farm (she gave him away one other time but when my friend saw that I was upset he talked to her and got him back) because she doesn’t like him (because he goes in her house she says) and my other one got sick for a day or something and then went missing and came back and I guess went missing again-- I haven’t seen him since ive been back. Ill look around town for him and maybe hell come back, and as for the other one im going to try and buy a littler box so that maybe Leila will let me bring him home to live with me…kind of sad.
