 So, I arrived in Pucon a few days ago late in the evening. I arrived at the hostel which is like a large house with a homey kitchen, carpeted large living/dining room with fireplace and spacious dorms. I shared a room with Mike-a super nice Aussie and Sarah-a really sweet and nice British girl. I instantly felt at home when Mike said he and Sarah were a little worried about me when it was so late and I had not yet arrived. Oah! I had been a little bummed out after saying goodbye to my Polish friend and they cheered me up. The main attraction here is to hike the lava spitting volcano but the weather has been cold and rainy for 4 days now. You cannot see the mountains because of the clouds and there doesn't seem to be any other hiking really.
   There is a Scottish girl Lindsay working here and quite a few people in the hostel-all waiting for good weather. I am so glad that I am in this hostel. We have all been watching movies together in the cozy living room and the 4 of us cooked a Mexican fajita meal for like 18 people or so. A whole bunch of us all went out one night to a club and had a great time dancing and there was no western music for a change. Mike and I and another few people took a bus to the hot springs for $20 and it was so amazing. It was at night(thankfully cause I had not shaved my legs), and there was a dimly lit path which led to 6 natural stone pools. There we were in a candlelight-like atmosphere in natural hot springs with a bottle of wine under the stars, and later the rain. It truly was magic!
