Nov 30th: Friday
The first time I woke up, it was 5:50am. Why? Because I needed to blow my nose. For some reason, my body felt that blowing my nose was more important than sleeping. Stupid body. What made it fun was that I had to go outside, up a flight of stairs and make small talk with people that were still partying just to do so. Back to sleep.
It’s 9am and I’m up again. I don’t have to be up until 10am, but some girl in the room decided to make as much noise as possible while packing her bags. She finally left, and I returned to la la land.
10am, I wake up, pack my bag and sit outside to wait for Nicole to finish getting ready. 10:30 we leave and jump in a cab to go to the Airport. We were flying back to Lima. Check in. Go through security. Wait at the gate. Board the plane. Try to pass out. Fail. I wind up staring out the window the entire time. Lame. We land. Retrieve our bags. Get a cab. Check into hostel. Wait.
Why do we wait? Because it’s 3pm and our room isn’t ready yet. Crap. Sometime around 3:30, they let us in the room. I get our bags from storage, and then jump in the shower. Last time either of us had a shower was the last time we were in Lima, which I thing was 3 days ago.
While I was in the shower, Nicole passed out in the bed. I was tired, but I was also hungry. So I went to the grocery store, knowing that they sold food and that they took credit cards. Those were my two requirements. I got a whole rotisserie chicken, a giant side of fries, and a liter and a half of coke for around $7. I was pretty excited about this deal. When I got back to the hostel with my feast, I plopped down in the common area and watched a really cool movie about saving earth from a dying sun (Sunshine I think). When that one was over, I watch a really bad foreign film about war in Kosovo. Not bad in the good way either. Just plain bad. The movie was almost over when Nicole showed up wanting to get some food. I didn’t care to see the ending, so I shut it off and we left for the grocery store. She got some more cash, bought some grub, and then we went back to the hostel. Nicole ate while I repacked all my things. I had to get ready for the trip back to the US tomorrow. When we were done with that, we watched The Pick of Destiny with Jack Black. It was entertaining, and I now know where they got all the ideas for Guitar Hero 3. And all this time, I thought they came up with it on their own. Sheesh.
As usual, Nicole fell asleep before the movie ended. I finished packing up some loose odds and ends, and then went to bed myself. I tried to sleep, but the part seemed to be right outside my window. It was 1:30 in the morning and all I wanted to do was sleep. I put on my headphones, and watched Family Guy on my ipod until I was out cold.
