The rockstar lifestyle is catching up with us

So after Prez's post we played some drinking games with some Guaro and Fresca (surprise surprise). We played King's Cup with some Argentinan girls, which proves to be pretty challenging when you get the 'rhyme' category and don't speak the same language. I don't know what the hell rhymes with 'bicicleta'... Somewhere along the way one of the guys playing (from Colorado Springs, CO) decided it would be a good idea to get another bottle of Guaro. Since it seemed like a great idea at the time we threw some Colones his way and cashed yet another liter with him. As great of a time as we had, we were pretty dead to the world yesterday morning (or at least Prez and I were). After laying in bed for as long as possible, we headed out to the beach to get some more sun.

We constructed some awesome sand art, including a merman and 'Le Dick'. We also saw many people, both male and female in speedos and thongs. Prez and I are contemplating buying ourselves speedos to minimize our tan lines.

For dinner we were reeled in by a dude on the street corner who told us that we could get 2 pizzas for $10 and 2 for 1 beers. Not wanting to pass this deal up we followed our new friend (his name was Robinson - very Spanish, I know) to his restaurant on the fourth floor rooftop of a nearby building. Immediately we thought that this place was too classy for us, but the view of the sunset was incredible and the deal for food was just as awesome. After our romantic candle lit dinner we returned back to the hostel to watch Jurassic Park III, World's Craziest TV Commercials, Magic's Secrets Revealed, MTV Teen Cribs and the end of the Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks NBA game. Since we still felt like shit from the night before we decided to turn in early... going to bed around 10:30pm (yeah, we're pretty cool).

This morning I woke up and went for a run at 8:20 and couldn't get Prez to get out of bed. I trucked it out alone and got my ass kicked by the heat and humidity yet again. Luke went out for a run when I returned. I also met a retired guy staying at our hostel that wants to get in to medical school. I wished him luck, but I'm not sure he will accomplish his goal since he's in his 60's and suckling at the unemployment teet.

Time for food...
Oh and we still haven't seen anybody drink out of the faucet here (or anywhere for that matter), something we do on a daily basis. I guess nothing phases us. Boom
Til next time
