Moved to The Dreamer hostel

Dear Obiwan,

Today made up for last night. Today was a relaxing beach and pool day with a fun night to end it!

I left Prima Luna hostel after breakfast and headed to The Dreamer hostel! It was the same woman who had to turn me away last night. She was so happy to see me! Her name is Jenny and my middle name (Jennifer) for some reason came up as my last name so she was even more excited to meet me since we had the second name!

This hostel was very pretty! Beautiful pool and it was right on the beach! Which also meant super sandy everywhere.

After getting situated I went to the beach. The water was crazy rough and full of brown stuff due to the storms bringing stuff to the shore. The first thing I saw was a woman almost getting knocked over and her top flying down! She had her whole family with her and everyone just laughed so hard at her, it was hilarious. I eventually headed back inside because I was very hot and needed to dunk in some water.

Before getting in the pool I went to the bar for some water, Jenny was there with an American guy. They were having a competition of who did the best pouring of a beer into a plastic cup. I arrived at the perfect moment for both of them to ask me who was better. Jenny’s had a lot more foam (or more ‘head’ right? That’s the term?) So I immediately said the guy, but then Jenny looked and me and said, “Carlyyyyyy my sister with the same name come on look again!” I quickly changed my answer because she was right, we have to have each other’s backs! So I changed it and said she did. Then the guy jokingly lost it and introduced himself, his name was Cesar.

Moments later in the pool I’m swimming around and see Cesar at the end of the pool with another guy moving to some music from a portable speaker. I swam over and met Troy, at this point I thought they were surely messing with me, Cesar and Troy?! What is this some 60’s sitcom?! But no, it’s for real. They’re from NYC and grew up across the street from each other. They we’re hilarious and warm and so much fun.

I then heard my name and there was Ana(from Prima Luna hostel last night)!!! She came! She was sitting with a large group of Israelies! We all chatted and they we’re friendly and pretty hilarious.

Later during the day Magella found me, she came too! And so did Drew! Casas Viejas reunion!

The night ended up with a few more people joining us, a guy from Holland that Magella and Drew met and a few others. It was a great and chill night. We got a beer pong game going with Troy and Cesar and Magella and myself. We lost quite badly but the balls were these large styrofoam balls so it’s the balls fault for sure!

Here are a few pictures from today and tonight…including a video of Troy being pulled away to dance with this woman who was very into him, she took him to dance while he was still eating his french fries! But she wouldn’t take no for an answer😆:

Well off to bed, love you lamb chops,
Carly
