Still not great at spanish but getting a little better

During the week I didn’t do anything that special. We watched Motorcycle Diaries on Tues night. Wednesday we went to a salsa club. I drank and hung out with friends. I am not very good as salsa. Friday night my friend Jason got a job at a local café playing guitar so we went to support him.
Saturday a group of 5 of us went to the hot springs for the day. We decided to hike the mountain up to the springs. It is about 12k all up hill so the springs felt great once we got there. It took a little over 2 hours to get up there. After we hiked back down. We grabbed the first bus back to Xela and accidentally we grabbed the wrong one. It still went to Xela but the other end of town. So we walked about another 6k back to where we live. So we had a full day of walking. For those who cannot do the conversion in their head it was about 18.6 miles we walked.
I was supposed to go on another hike today but woke up and fell back to sleep. I woke up late and missed the trip. Oh well next time. It was nice to get some more sleep and take a day off. Specially because tomorrow I am leaving to hike to the tallest point in Central America. It is a 2 day hike up to about 14,000 ft.
