Seven hours. Seven hours in an airport, and we´re informed that our flight is canceled. Yesterday was not the best day of the trip.
HOWEVER.
It was certainly not the worst.
WE STAYED IN A HOTEL!!! Not a hostal, a hotel- you read that right. It had the most beautiful shower, two queen beds to a room, a beautiful breakfast buffet instead of just bread and butter, a spa, airconditioning and heat, and a doorman. While some of you back home may say, DUH that´s what a hotel is suppossed to be like, remember that we´ve been staying in 15 dollar a night hostals, and usually we only get sporatic hot water dribbling out of the shower heads. The airline put us up and paid for our dinner and breakfast, athough that didn´t stop Max and myself for ducking out one last time to Jack´s. After two meals each and a chocolate chip cookie split, we were finally satisfied after having access to zero edible food all day.
Ivy, Lizzy, Max, Eli, and myself spent the night watching HBO- they were playing The Town (Awesome movie) and got a great night´s sleep on our cushy beds.
This morning we all returned to the airport, leaving our hotel at 7:30 (Ivy and I woke up at 7:25, it made for an interesting breakfast) and took off FINALLY at 10:45 AM.
We are now in Puerto Maldanado, enjoying the heat and humidity before our six hour boat ride deep into the jungle tomorrow to start our final volunteer project of the trip.
It´s so crazy to think that we have 22 days left! It seems like nothing.
Expect quite the update after our jungle adventure is finished.
Ciao!

"We would look out over the immense sea ... each of us far way, flying in his own aircraft to the stratospheric regions of his own dreams. There we understood that our vocation, our true vocation, was to move for eternity along the roads and seas of the world. Always curious, looking into everything that came before our eyes, sniffing out each corner but only ever faintly- not setting down roots in any land or staying long enough to see the substratum of things; the outer limits would suffice."
