This past weekend was the first time that we had consecutive days with nice weather.  On Saturday the temperature was around 70 degrees and it felt great to be outside with a light jacket on. Sunday was about the same but with a little more wind and the sun was trying to hide behind the clouds.  I was able to take full advantage of the nice weather and spent both days outside.  On Saturday afternoon my roommate Dave and I went on a hike to the "Jesus statue". The statue is located at the peak of the mountain that separates the two beaches.  The hiking paths wrap around the hill all the way to the top where you are able to view the entire city. While ascending up the mountain there are paths that lead to graves and old battle stations.  The top and bottom pictures were both taken from the base of the statue at the highest point of our hike.  It was a beautiful site  to witness and will be a place that I look forward to revisiting because one trip will not suffice.

The other picture that I posted (middle) was taken on a bridge during our walk downtown on Saturday night. From left to right.... Alex (roommate), Me, Bo, and Dave (roommate)

On Sunday, the four of us went on quite the journey.  We went on another hike to a completely different mountain that over looked the entire city.  I don't want to give details about this until I am able to put up pictures so that you can visualize our view.  The initial hike took an hour or so to get to the point that we were trying to reach and than while at that point we spent a couple of more hours either gazing towards the sea or finding new vantage points for a quick snap shot.  I took roughly 50 pictures during the hike and would have taken even more if the battery to my camera did not run out.  If a quantity of pictures taken can represent how spectacular something is....50 would not be enough.  

Rain was not too far away after a perfect weekend of weather.  It rained for the majority of the day today (Monday) and has been fairly chilly.  However, it did not discourage the surfers that were recently excited by this glimpse of nice weather.  Somewhere between 10 to 30 surfers have occupied the water at any given time during the past few days.

We bought internet last Tuesday.  One problem though, it will not be installed for 3-4 weeks after purchase. So any time in the next 3 weeks I will get a text message that will notify me when they will be setting it up.
