Buses are Fun

I have finally arrived in paradise as of three days ago, and it is wonderful. Watching the sunset on the beach, waking up to the beautiful sun every morning, and most of all, just living the experience. Today Sarah and I took the bus over to Santa Cruz because we wanted to see if we could get cheap cell phone plans to use down here, just between us and our friend Gabby who is also here for the summer. After an hour and a half bus ride where we were standing most of the time, we finally arrived in this city where we had no idea where anything was. We stopped at a local restaurant to grab some food (even with a huge bottle of water AND tip, our meal was only $10!). Then we asked one of the people who worked there where the main road was and just walked around looking at everything. Little did we know until later, that because it’s Saturday, we had no chance of getting a cell phone service set up that day. We’ll have to go back another day. Then we got back on the bus for the hour and a half ride home. Did I mention that Santa Cruz is only 33 kilometers from where we live? Yup. That’s how awesome taking the bus is. We were seriously the only white girls there. It was quite a sight, at least some people thought. As for Sarah and I, I suppose we get a kick out of traveling to towns where we have no idea where anything is, and what we’re even doing. Guess it’s all a part of the experience.
