Day 19, Wednesday, July 25th
Okay. Border crossing – here we go. This is my thought as I wake around six and finish packing to leave
We don’t have to wait long for a bus to
We eat breakfast/lunch on the bus – PB&J and cheese crackers. Sound familiar? I’m pretty sure I’m not going to want another PB&J for months. After food I read for awhile and sleep a bit more. It is a nice ride.
When we get to
We find Tranquilo Backpackers, a very lively little hostel downtown, and drop off our stuff. Then the hunger hits us. We walk back to the pedestrian walkway and get some Cheesy Fiesta Fries from Taco Bell. Fiesta! The afternoon is still young so we walk down to the National Theatre. We have kept saying that we are going to come here but have never gotten around to it. So we pay our little entrance fee but opt to wander guide free. It is a lovely old building, and I kinda wish we had gotten the guide. As pretty as it is, I think we miss some of the story. But still. We have a good time sitting in the seats next to the President’s box and discussing theatre. Beth and I are going to see Lion King when we get home, and we are both pretty thrilled.
After stopping in the art museum in the Theatre (a dedication to Francisco Amighetti), we follow the crowd as the Theatre closes for the day. As this is our last day in
Then it’s back to the hostel. I’d like to say that I spend the rest of the night mixing and mingling with our fellow hostelers, but if you remember how many blogs I put up Wednesday, you’ll know that’s not true. I spend all night typing up old entries and using the internet. But I don’t mind. Perhaps I should be living it up here, but what can I say? I’m invested. And you guys love me for it. :)

I think it's good that you had a slow day. That way you can prepare for the hard journeys ahead (coming home only being one of them, I'm sure) and gain some peace of mind.
