I mentioned one day to my host dad that I would like to go to El Junco, a volcano with a freshwater lake in it, at night to see the stars. He suggested something even better. He told me that we could go to El Junco at 4 in the morning to see the stars and then to see the sunrise.
So at 4 am, Pablo, my friends Sam and Bryce, and I got up and drove to the highlands. We got there around 4:30 in the morning. We walked up to the top, where it was pitch black. Even though it was so dark, you could still kind of see the lake.

We watched the sun rise while we walked around the perimeter of the lake. It was incredibly surreal. It is, to date, one of the best experiences I have had here. Afterwards, we went to Puerto Chino and spent the early morning getting tossed around by the waves. We got back around 9 for breakfast. All in all, it was a great morning!

Then, Pablo asked me if I wanted to go scuba diving at night...
