Skate day

Today we skated hard. We woke up before 11 today and brought our backpacks down to put them into storage for the day. We had breakfast and then left the hostel with Aram to go skate the famous Sants Estaçio bus station benches. Best skate day ever, the benches were so fun to skate and all the people there that were skating were super awesome to skate with.

We skated there for nearly 5 hours and then decided to come home, shower, and figure out our deal as to what we need to do tonight. Turns out that Michael is super awesome and we can just hang out here in the hostel until we need to catch our bus to the airport at 3:15... and he refunded us for a day for the hostel night, sweet. I went with Sheen and we bought a pizza and some coke to tie us over until later.

I just woke up from a wicked power nap, it's 2:10 in the morning and we're about to leave for Paris. I hope everything works out when we get there.

bye
