Tuesday Sept 22

Well today was our forced day off because of the political unrest and hence the curfew in the whole country. Well we decided to sleep in and then get ready to go into town because we assumed that things would still be open. We started walking down the mountain towards town and then hitched a ride with some people in the back of their pickup. We got to town and nothing was open, which we didn’t know because no one told us. This was very frustrating because we were going to try to have a birthday lunch since birthday dinner didn’t work out yesterday. We ended up walking around to see what was open, and then just used the internet at Guancascos. We searched for some lunch to no avail, only snacks. So Froni was nice and made us some baleadas and brought us back up the mountain in her pickup. We had dinner at the comedor that night, which was amazing as usual. We had a food coma after that so we went back to chill at our house, planning on school tomorrow until we get a call from Mr. Lara informing us the curfew is still on for tomorrow. Apparently we weren’t supposed to leave our house today so Mr. Lara told us to not go to town tomorrow. I decided to use my time to watch an episode of ALIAS and be entertained for a little bit before bed. Another day of forced vacation!
