The island of
Utila is back to normal. Semana Santa (Holy Week) was absolutely crazy; apparently during Holy Week it's tradition that all the mainlander's head to the beach and PAR-TAY. So for an entire week this tiny little island was crammed with people, debauchery, and madness. The songs, "Tonight's gonna be a good night, Bad Romance, and Sexy Bitch" were replayed waaaay too often until about 4am every night...if I ever hear those songs again I might involuntary throw something.
Andy and I secured work only a few days before Semana Santa began which was a great for making some quick cash. Andy was working at a dive shop in the morning and we were both working in restaurants at night. It's super cheap to live here, so in general you don't need to make a lot of cash to get by. If you make $20 a day then it was a good day. We had a great week! Now it's time to relax and spend it!
Our loot!
I told my Honduran finance that you guys are there and that I want to go and he said, only gringos go there. So? So? So? I want to go and party during Semana Santa.
