The beach war

Night of day 8 to day 9 was a beach war between:Army of Me
And army of mosquitoes......those god darn insects who do nothing productive for earth or ecosystem...Needless to say I slept bad, and around 5hours in total :(
But oh well, the trip goes on.I had 130(almost 140km) to go, to Castellón,day before my parents recommended me to try out Couchsurfing, get a bed,some rest, maybe a shower, and most of all meet interesting people,for the people who don't know what Couchsurfing is about(like me two days ago)
it's a portal/app that allows people with a free bed,couch,space at home,invite travellers and tourists, for sharing home,it's free,unless a hosts specifies otherwise,and you would think,why would I give my spare bed, to someone, for free? Because You get to know people,make friends or even relationships,spend some good time talking and hearing about the world,generally a new experience....
So I registered, and tried to complete my profile(fill info, update a pic or two...,)and looked for a Host in Castellón.In the morning I mailed three people I considered okay,and made my way to Castellón.at around 13:00 I got a message from a musician(I'll make a whole post about Him) that he might be able to give me a bed, but it's not for sure.
I arrived in Castellón at 3,at a Sunday....EVERYTHING,I repeat everything,was dead closed, I had no water left and battery dying,and the place of my hosts home is 20km from nearest commercial centre,which ended up being partially closed, but opened enough, for me to find a place to sit,and charge my phone&battery.About half past four I get a message that I'll have a place to sleep!!! Yay!I waited for two hours, and then met up with the host in the city of Villareal(Next to Castellón) I left my stuff at his place,and he decided to show me around the city and tell me a little about its history(since he grew up here)I had a great walk, found a store with cheap veggies, and bought what needed for dinner.I could shower and eat with no rush, and enjoyed a good conversation about cultural differences, and life in general.Also the host showed me a lot of Spanish music groups,mainly rock&roll,rock, and some heavy metal,told me a little about his life,and at half past 11 I went to sleep on double mattress bed(PRINCESS COMDITIONS I TELL YOU) even though I slept 6 hours, It was great
