So this morning I agreed to go with my host and John Stuekey to an unknown place at 6 o-clock this morning. First of all, John and I thought it was a 6 in the evening and were in for a rude awakening this morning. Then when I woke up at 5 this morning, my nauseousness came back and I started to worry about the trip. We took a taxi to the Jinotepe bus station where John and I found out that the trip would last until four in the afternoon and that the bus ride was 2 hours! I quickly took some Dramamine for fear of throwing up all over the Nicas in front of me and started to figure out a way I could get off the bus before I hurled. John and I talked and started talking to Marciel about it and turns out her phone is out of minutes and none of the vendors at the bus station would let us use theres'. So we talked it over and decided to head towards Casa Verde where Gwen and Lisa live. It was about 7 in the morning by then and I knocked on the door, yelled their names in a little panic. And there they come in their pajamas really confused. So John and Marciel leave for the day trip- poor John and I stay at Casa Verde. I slept for a couple of hours because of the Dramamine I took, which is probably the most I have slept in the last 2 nights.
Now I am hanging out on the internet- eating pan tostado and ginger tea and wishing I would have asked more questions before I left this morning. Oh SST.....
