Day 9: Traveling to ponce. And lots of dancing

So I'm behind on my blog again because tomorrow was another yet - but very fun - night. Yesterday we checked out of our hostel in Rincon, and the five of us headed toward Ponce. We all went together because Nick was stopping by on his way back to San Juan (and staying in our room), and the girls needed a place to pick up transportation. Well once we got to Ponce, we found out the public transportation had been closed for hours. So basically all of us would have another night together, but this time in a new city (well mostly new; the girls had stayed a few days in Ponce before heading to Rincon). Our hotel, which we would all end up sharing, had a pretty nice view of the streets.

The view from the balcony of our hotel room. Unfortunately, we had to switch rooms after the first night.

We didn't arrive in Ponce until the afternoon, so we mostly had time to check in, park our cars, take a quick tour of the streets around our hotel, and eat dinner before it was late. But that's really when the fun started. Around 10pm, we went to a bar called Kenpas that was right around the corner from our hotel. We sat outside, had some drinks (water for me), and played cards for an hour or so.

After that, we went into the back of the bar where there is a big club-style dance room with outragiously loud music. At first, noone was in there at all. So we just took over the place, though the music wasn't great. After a few minutes, the DJ came in, and started playing some techno-y,trance-y, dance-y kinda music that we started all dancing to. It was still pretty much just us for almost an hour, until other people started coming in. It was so fun because people were a little hesitant first, but we (Fed and I mostly), would walk over and grab someone and make them dance in the circle, or on the small stage. A few people refused, but for most people that was enough to get them dancing. It was so much fun. Needless to say, my latin hips were on display for everyone that night. That's how I do. It was really warm in the club, but we were all having so much fun dancing, that we didn't end up leaving until after 3am. It was a long night, but it was great fun. I really wish we had pictures of us dancing though... =)
