We moved to a new hostel yesterday... and by new, I literally mean the hostel hasn't even opened yet (we got to stay here free last night!). One of the partners of the hostel told us last night that he was going to take a walk up one of the mountains overlooking the city in the morning and asked if we wanted to go along. He then informed us that you have to go between 5:00-9:00a.m. Well, since we don't have jobs, there was really no excuse, so we decided to join.
When the alarm went off at 5:00a.m., we almost fell back asleep, but finally convinced ourselves to get out of bed. It was definitely worth it. The hike was not particularly hard, but wasn't particularly easy, either - mainly because we still haven't completely adjusted to the high altitude. But the view from the top was completely worth it, and getting away from the city traffic and noise was really nice. To top it all off, when we got back in the city we bought cups of fresh orange juice from a street vendor for super cheap.
Oh, and did I mention that the tap water here is potable? That's better than I can say for DC!
I'm ready for some sunrise hikes. T-minus 36 days!
