So lately I`ve been spending ton`s of time with my Gringo friends. Most of them are my neighbors so it`s like Melrose Place where I live. Fun stuff. 

These girls are my new neighbors...Jenna and Jill, from Austin, TX. 

Christian, Me, Jenna and Morgan 

Mis amigos 

Jill, Jack, Jenna and Me. 

Neighbors from upstairs...Morgan and Liz 

Don`t knock it until you`ve tried it. 

It`s Jill`s 24th Bday. 

Jerome offers to give 24 whips

For New Year`s Me, Andrea and Dave went to Moñtanita. A nice change to spend NY at the beach. 

Our hostel we stayed in. $10 per night (that`s double it`s normal price due to the holiday). 

This is the community of Moñtanita. We stayed in the party central--the main street--where all the tourists are.

I took this one of myself. 

This dog that was next to us decided to come and lay down on Dave. 

One of many ceviche carts that go up and down the beach. The best ceviche I`ve ever had.

These guys who do Caipoera--a Brazilian dance--formed a circle in the middle of the main street and began to do their tricks. 

... 

This cute kid jumped in the middle of the circle and started doing his Caipoera. 

Me, Andrea and Dave were watching the sunset. 

... 

Me, Andrea and Dave were dancing at a rave party on the beach on NY Eve. 

At midnight the beach got packed as we all watched the fireworks. 

Surfers did a dance with their boards and then went and surfed when the hour struck. 

The fire everyone made on the beach.
