the end

well
it´s wednesday evening, at 11:00pm which is the latest that i have stayed up in two months now (not counting days when i had no choice but to be awake due to the violent expulsion of all fluids from my body)

we got to granada yesterday, and as anticipated, i miss the island like crazy. i miss the monkeys and the dirt roads and the bumpy pick-up truck rides and the kids and my friend jess and the simplicity of it all.

today was a great day - having been here already i knew what was going on and settled into a groove a lot sooner than last time.

we explored the CRAZY markets. people and grains and meat and vegetables and fruit and shoes everywhere! and buttons! so many buttons! and i realized that last time i was here, when jess and i went our or crazy ¨baul con serradura¨ adventure, we only hit the tip of the iceberg. those markets go back way way farther than i´d thought. and dayum does it smell baaaad.

then i went a spent a small fortune on macrame stuff from the super hot rasta guys in the park.

then i went to find my good friend Enoch, who sortof remembered me maybe, to see if he would take us all up into the bell tower of the cathedral. and he did! at noon for when he was ringing the bells! so cool!

anyways
apprently free internet time is over and i need to go now

i can´t believe this trip is almost over.
tomorrow we go to managua and i have one night there and then i fly home.

i would get all introspective now, but this time limit has throw me off. suffice to say, this has been a pretty crazy awesome experience. i had hoped it would be a positive one, but i never imagined that it would be the monumentally-life-changingly awesome.

i freakin love primatology.
this is where i am meant to be.

all i gotsa do now is learn how to salsa.
