Today I just relaxed in the hammocks at Rio Hostel and then got my laundry back. After some time to relax, I felt a lot better, and I ended up going to a party at Los Hermanos, which is one of the hostels near Costeño.

Today I continued relaxing, and went tubing with some people from the hostel, because that’s my entire purpose for coming to this hostel besides just checking out the vibes. I got a tiny bit sunburned and felt drained so I went to bed early again.
Rio Hostel is nice. It has delicious food, with lots of options. The dorm I’m in is cool, my only complaint being that it’s a bit dark even during the day. The bathrooms are good, and the WiFi is limited to a small area but it’s good. They also have good DJ sets. I’m officially a beach girl though, because even though this hostel is only about two miles from Costeño Beach and it’s on a river, I already miss the beach.

Today I’m back at Costeño so I’m taking advantage of the beach hammocks, and that’s pretty much it.

Today I continued relaxing, but I did end up watching the sunset from a nice spot on the side of the road. That’s pretty much it.

Today I continued relaxing, but there was a party in the hostel (Costeño has DJs Wednesdays and Fridays so those are the party nights at the hostel, other days there are parties at other hostels nearby). I met a bunch of people (including some people from San Diego!) so we played some drinking games at the picnic tables, and then danced for a while before calling it a night. I really liked the DJ this night so I had a good time.

Today was a fun day at the hostel and I’m sad to leave tomorrow. There’s a surf competition going on which is fun to watch, and apparently Thursdays are jam sessions at Costeño. I wish I knew this in advance because I would have made an effort to go to the jam sessions instead of the DJ sets because this is much more my style.
It was actually such a great time because one of the musicians was the guy I met at Bohemia Beach the first time I came here. The vibes were so great at the jam session that even the staff agreed and said this was one of the best jam sessions in a while. It really made me realize how much I love live music and I wish I could play it myself, but even more so I wished I had my dance shoes because I could’ve joined in with them.
