good luck
so last evening i left the hostel to walk down to the parque central, and who did i find sitting next to a fountain making kissy faces at each other, but pascual and joanne. they had finished their course in utila and are making fast time towards costa rica. fairly overjoyed at the coincidence, we went out for italian food, beers and the tyson fight.
this morn we met in the parque again, and hung out all day, going to a ¨pool party¨ to celebrate the birthday of some english girl, the best part of this was finding that pascual and i are sorta evenly matched at chess. it`s really good to hang out with him and joanne, it`s weird to think that we met each other on the street in zacatecas more then 4 months ago. the plan now is that tomorrow they are going to granada and i am going for a quick jaunt through the highcountry, then i too will book for granada and possibly continue down with them to the isla de omotepe, some islands on the lake of nicaragua, the largest lake in central america. if not granada will be our last hanging out together, they have the adventurous plan to make it to chile by the first of may, which is,
as pascual said, ¨really fucking fast man.¨ indeed.
tonight we had dinner with two parisians, they all spoke mostly english for me but the french i found myself understanding more and more, i look forward to the day when i`ll be able to concentrate on getting it down good in a french speaking country.

Dan, I really hope you get this comment. I can`t access my mail, something`s fucked up with the server again, and I`m expecting an email about my flight back to Santiago on Saturday. I don`t have anyway of getting a hold of Drew so could you please email him to find out what`s up. This one`s kind of, uh, really important. thanks a bunch bro, stay at the Monkey`s Paw (that`s prolly not it, it`s got something to do with monkeys though) hostel in Granada and eat at the restaurant at Hospedaje Central because they make good pasta. And get your ass to Ometepe and go to Mèrida, but don`t bother with Moyogalpa or Altagracia because those towns suck.
