Different turn out than expected

My wash was already waiting for me in my room all neatly folded and put on the shelves. I thanked Ema and she did not mention any money. We had dinner together and afterwards I had my shower. Since lately it gets colder at night I actually got my hair dryer for the first time since I did not want to have dripping wet hair. Chelsea and me were ready to leave around 8pm. We both did not feel like picking up anyone else or go around knocking on doors so just got ourselves a tuc-tuc and went to Antigua. Under way we saw this huge accident involving a car and three ambulances and police. It really did not look good at all. (Today in the paper it said that a guy on a bicycle had hit a car. He was in the hospital and the bike was in three pieces.) In Antigua we went to Monoloco and got ourselves a big table. The only joke was that normally we need one that big to fit like 10 people but this time we made up a group of four in the end. We were early but not on time for a spot under the roof since the night air can be rather chilly when you just sit there and chat. So in the end Bianca and Co. ended up sitting at our table. Great! On the other hand they bugger of early anyway and do not drink really either. I got to meet Franz that night and we hit if off straight away. Thanks for being my warm water bottle otherwise it would have been really cold and poor Hedda could not have borrowed my sweater. Since it was his last night we went dancing for the last 45 minutes in the place right next to it. Surprise, surprise it was still enough room to move on the dance floor in comparision to Saturday night were entering was already an art. You certainly know how to move, Schatz! When it closed and the others went home. We felt like chatting some more and we ended up in his hostel. Sitting in a TV room exchanging life stories when suddenly we got a new companion - a little black baby kitten! How very fitting since the place was called The Black Cat! I thought I will stay until around 3.30am since his shuttle had to come and pick him up around 4am. Instead there were no taxis to be had at that hour (new information and you can not just call a taxi by phone like at home!) and walking the streets at that hour is different because it is all empty and quiet but not dangerous if anyone wonders. I had to return to the hostel since there was no way that I would stay in the street all night. Franz was rather surprised to see me again but that way he actually got his personal good bye committee. Hope all went well since the shuttle was not on time wih checking-in etc.! I did not have any paper to write a letter to stay awake but had some pictures with me so I played games to stay awake. At 6am I left and it was freezing cold. People around me were going to work or just arriving to stack up there place in the market; clothed in heavy woolly sweaters, caps and the whole lot and little me still in the out-going clothes from the night before. I got lucky and got a tuc-tuc to take me back home. I arrived home shortly after 6am. Ema and Mario were already up and running and just said Buenos dias. I went straight for a shower which felt hot and that is only an indication for how cold I am since here the shower is never more than just below body temperature. Once I got out of the shower Chelsea handed me our cell phone and just went for you. Sweety thanks for the call which means my cell phone is working now! To whoever cares to call Chelsea/ me on our new cell phone: +502-555 11350!! Chelsea and me still have to figure out how best to distribute the phone between us. I was up and running and went for school and although the sun was coming through I was still very cold. With no sleep at all I made more sense today than yesterday in conversation. Only when trying to do the irregular verbs it was getting a bit hard to focus. The vocabulary is there and the more it gets activated the more comes back. Sometimes I look at words and the meaning eludes me which is kind of frustrating. Today after lunch I made the decision time to get some sleep since I want to go out again tonight.

The plans for this week are tomorrow after lunch to go with the school to the volcano and Friday to Sunday Chelsea, Camilla and me will go to Coban if things work out the way we have it in mind.
