I explained that part to Tracey and she thought it was hilarious because she actually moved in with one of my friends from my group. She was happy because ...

... to tell him where to go and when. Mom &amp; Dad- now you know what you can get him for Christmas! <br><br>I have to say, the accomodations on our final night were a far cry from the previous night. If you want to rest your head upon the finest pillow in town, just ask my cousin to make your reservations. We stayed at the Grano de Oro hotel which was very elegant, in spite of no A/C.

By now we don´t have a bed or anything, but Albaro will organise some matrazes today and then we´ll get started buying some other basic stuff.
