Drive to Popoyo to Visit Friends – 20220925

After partying last night in Granada I felt beat this morning. So I had a slow morning. I showed the owners of Cueva Nica the 360 camera and they wanted a bunch of videos of the hostel. So they walked around for a long time with the camera filming.

I ate breakfast, drank a batido, and finally left around noonish for Popoyo. I was headed to Popoyo to visit Jordan, Carolina and their baby Amanecer. They had offered to host me when I met them in the mountains.

I arrived around 330 and got a little tour from Carolina. Then Jordan got back and we chatted a bunch. Mostly about what it’s like to be an Expat planning on living forever in a poor foreign country.

It’s nice to hang out with them but a little boring as they are in a different stage of life as me. I never know how to feel at these moments when I peak into other lives I could have. There’s a tiny bit of envy when I see a little happy family. It looks calm and relaxing but man I don’t know how I could deal with all the monotony and every day just feeling same same but different.

Amanecer, cutest baby ever

But I love their baby. Just the sweetest little happy thing. I mean just look at her.

Tomorrow Jordan and Carolina offered to show me around Popoyo a bit.
