wow, crazy times...

So, a brief synopsis of the last couple days...

Thursday:
-Worked at the stand
-cleaned my cabin
-went to the hotel bar with my friend Rebekah because i refused to stay another evening in my cabin reading, writing, cleaning, or listening to music (at least, those are the only activities that I will let on about). We had a great time, some drinks, an awesome burger, and I actually went to bed around midnight instead of 9:30

Friday:
-Red Sand Beach. All day. Me, some Miller High Life (it is the champagne of beers, you know), and a LOT of sun. I spent the entire day there until the sun went behind the cinder cone that creates the magic that is Red Sand (if you don't know what I'm talking about, look it up).
-Ananda (the manager of the stand who has been gone for six weeks in Maine) comes home. She goes straight to our good friend's house (Glen and Athena) and we end up partying with about ten people until all hours of the night.

Saturday:
-wake up on Glen and Athena's couch, hungry and thirsty and hot from the morning sun. Another person who slept on the floor was already awake from the sun and regales me with the story of how they woke up at 5am (I was totally dead to the world, apparently) and found a coconut candle burned down to the base and in flames on the kitchen table about four feet high. Yeah, let's just all be thankful that everyone is alive and all's well that ends well--wow.
-get kahula pig tacos and breadfruit, then hike through the jungle to this place called Stoner's pool (the family whose property it is has the last name of Stoner--hilarious, right?), and swim around under a waterfall for a couple of hours with no one else around....amazing.
-work at the stand, then go to Ananda's house for dinner, yum!

Sunday:
-wake up early, go to the stand and work, then Ananada and I go grab Athena and go to Venus Pool, a great jumping spot (I was the only one who jumped from anything higher than 8ft., they're not big fans of heights). Watched some guy jump from about 50ft. The water was perfect.
-pick up some food and beer and head to the Landing, which is a spot overlooking the ocean with a 250 degree view of the ocean and horizon...really, really amazing, great for sunsets and bonfires, always people there.
-go to a friends house who live in a treehouse, have a BBQ and sit around and hang out enjoying the full moon til late...

Monday:
-bake. Clean. Getting ready to go running...I made this running CD and i think it is the only reason I can rouse myself to go...screaming along to the songs (at least in my head) is good therapy...anyone else experience this phenomena?


...Anyway, busy, fun, amazing times...still can't believe i live here...can't wait to see who my first visitor is! Miss you!
