PR2: Day 3: Welcome to Ponce

As soon as we got up, we heard a child screaming. MA! MAAAA! Our host didn't seem to even notice though. Turns out it's her parrot, and she wasn't blithely ignoring child abuse.

So we all showered, two of us drying off with spare clothing, and went out to get breakfast at the local mall. Nelly (who drove us home from the concert last night) joined us, and not much remarkable happened. It was kind of fun getting looks for being the only gringo in the mall, and surrounded by Amy, her cute friend, and her cuter friend.

After killing time in the mall we went back to Nelly's to watch a movie and play Rock Band. As they were actual musicians, I was severly outclassed. I had fun anywaY, and even saved the day by being the only person who knew 311's lyrics.

We had planned to go to La Guancha, the boardwalk, by 11, midnight at the latest. At 2, we made it. We met up with Amy's ex-boyfriend (a tall clever boy who teaches english). I took a few pictures, I let Amy try to use my camera (easier said than done in low-light, but this one -> turned out well in an artsy kind of way) and we wandered down the boardwalk and to the beach until the mosquitoes chased us off. Which is just as well. My Spanish nosedives past around 1:00 am. We swung by walmart on the way home (for towels!). Then, instead of going to bed, we talked about relationships until sunrise... I was too afraid to check the time.
