Las Penitas (part uno)

While on the bus to Las Penitas, we met a guy named Thommas who was from France. He lives in Las Penitas on the beach at a place called the Cocco Bar. They rent out surf boards, give lessons, and have a tiki bar on the beach. We asked him where some cheap places were, and he said the cheapest place was on the beach. He told us of some other places too, but as got off the bus and walked around for a bit, we ended up coming back to the Cocco Bar, and the guy running it told us we could stay up in the tiki bar for two dollars a night, so that's what we did.

Once we got settled in we went out and swam for a bit, walked down the beach for a while, and then made our way back to the bar. That night Anna and I slept on the beach for about half the night because of how bright and vivid the stars were, but ended up going back up because it got kind of cold from the breeze.

The next day we went to a another hostel called Barca de Oro that was more expensive, but we had to move because Carlos (the guy who was running the bar and surf shop) was opening the bar, plus they had no water. We checked in there and ate some breakfast before going back out to the beach. That day was spent mostly at the beach. We started to dig a hole in the sand, but the sides kept on collapsing, we settled for burying me legs in it.
