7/11/09 07:02 pm - Writer's Block: Lights Out
Slumming it in Mexico.
There was a hurricane so we were all evicted from our nice 4 star hotel and taken to this hovel in the towns centre where they put 14 people in each room designed for 4/5 people. We were lucky because 2 guys slept in the hall so there was only 11 of us.
Actually a lot of people slept in the hall.
Anyway it was great at first. We watched nightmare on elms street on TV (most mexican TV is actually american) and had a laugh.
then the power went out. they'd turned it off for safety i guess.
this is the point we all went to "bed" (i slept on the floor) because what else is there to do when it's dark?
unfortunatly i slept through the hurricane :(
when i woke up there was no water either!!!!!!!!
also mexico was stupidly hot in july. imagine the hottest day ever and double it. that was mexico.
so we were all stupidly hot and sweaty.
also there they only fed us things like spaghetti with no sauce and a bit of bread.
eventually we got back to our own hotel and i got to have a nice shower. the water was cold and you didn't even care because your skin had trapped so much heat anyway.
best shower ever!
oh and there was also "suicide man" who came into our room in the morning going on in spanish at us and then used a chair to jump out of the window. we were on the 2nd floor up. turns out there was a roof on the other side but we didn't know that. we thought he'd just jumped out of the window for no reason.
