If our homestay families in San Luis are our "home-away-from-home", then Fox-Maple is our "home-away-from-home-away-from-home". When us students want to go out dancing on the weekends but don't want to have to walk back down La Trocha at midnight, Fox-Maple is our crash-pad. While the presence of such a space is wonderful, I must admit that sleeping on the floor is one of the least satisfying experiences ever. Luckily, I've managed to snag the only hammock up here the last two times I've slept over. It's quite a clumsy ordeal to climb into a hammock while wrapped in a mummy sleeping bag, but it's totally worth it. I feel like I'm in a fluffy, swinging cocoon. But most importantly... after sleeping in the hammock I wake up without the sensation of having thrown out my back in the middle of the night. Hopefully for me, I manage to snag this excellent sleeping arrangement again tonight! (As long as no one realizes my total monopolization of it as of yet...)
