Day 28 & 29

My awesome teacher Ari was able to come in for an extra class on Saturday in order to make up for the one I missed on Friday with my trip to Lake Atitlan.  Afterward I grabbed some fried chicken with one of the guys, Patrick.  We headed to a cafe with some nice views to do some studying.  Back at the hostel I had some leftovers that I had made the day before I'd left for the lake for dinner.  We hung around for a while having some wine and beer at the hostel and the hostel manager's local friends came by as well.  Eventually, we ran out of alcohol and about half of us decided to go out dancing.  We ended up at some place called Pool & Beer with a good mix of locals and foreigners.  The bars close around one when begins the crazy phenomenon of after-parties.  Basically, the whole of the bar that just closed down follows one another to some secret party with secret doors that you are quickly ushered through before authorities see you.  I didn't stay long before being accompanied home by one of my male companions, Nick.

Sunday started out quiet and slow.  After another cold shower and some coffee I headed to get some breakfast with Patrick.  After returning a bunch of us headed out to the hill that overlooks the city.  It was a little over an hour walk/hike to the outskirts of town and up the hill.  It was a nice view from the top where lots of families were gathering with some fun playgrounds one of which included a large cement slide.  Before we headed back to the hostel we grabbed some tacos for dinner.  The rest of the evening was chill and we watched a movie together before I headed to bed.
