Olon Day 15

Its been a good sunny day. I went for a swim and body surfing in the wonderful ocean as its a new habit for me now. I will get a board sometime in the near future or just rent one but will start with a boogie board.

Had breakfast with a guy from CA who has been here for 5 years and he has built a very nice hotel and a huge house here. He showed his 4000 sq ft house that is absolute beautiful and he rents it out for $3300 per month for vacationers. Seems like a lot but enough room for 10 people so its not to bad for a big group and with all the nice things it has and is fully furnished.

So I also found out that the very peak of the tourist season is actually between Christmas and New Years. My rent is paid until Christmas and was getting nervous about it since my rent is only paid up until Christmas. Shopped around for a place is hard to find, but after a while I did find a couple of places. Had a talk with the owner of where I am now (her in Spanish and me in English) and think I am secure until after the first but will go to the bank tomorrow and get enough money to pay up my rent for 10 days after Christmas. Hope I can find an apartment or a nice little cabin by then. This place is okay and for a hotel its really not bad on the price but can do a lot better with an apartment.

A couple of photos for today and another hotel that is for sale by someone else. Will find out more about it sometime soon. Then a great sunset this evening!
