It all started on Thursday when Beth, Myla, Brika, Jeffrey (B and M's professor from OSU) and me went to Tihany. Tihany is like a mini circ de soleil - it was pretty freakin awesome.
I wish I had more pictures to put up, but you weren't supposed to take any pictures, even without a flash, and we got yelled at. It was hilarious though because they were putting people up on the screen and saying things about them...like a couple that had "beso! beso! beso!" at the bottom of the screen (kiss) and a group of old people that had "blah...blah...blah...." Lol, so we were talking about how funny it would be if they put our group on the screen and said "gringos! gringos! gringos!"...and lo and behold....they found us (not that we are hard to spot in a crowd of ticos!).
Just to make sure everyone remembers who people are here...in this picture, from back to front it's: Brika, Me, Beth, Myla :)
Friday night was Bingo at PAS, none of us won anything :( I stayed after school from 3-6 and caught up on the Grey's episodes online that I've been missing out on - crazy stuff has been happening! After bingo we all went out to our favorite bar in Santa Anna, Amigos, to celebrate Jillian's last night in Costa Rica! :(
Saturday we all chillaxed until we went to Cocos (the tico bar) to watch the Costa Rica-Mexico game. If you didn't know...soccer is big here! :) Unfortunately Mexico won 2-0. The day was fairly miserable, I'm pretty sure it got into the low 90s, it was definitely high 80s anyway.
Sunday was unfortunately yet another miserably hot day. I woke up at 9:30 already a little sweaty. I took the bus back to Santa Anna to join everyone at Amigos (our favorite, gringo-friendly bar in SA) for the OU-UNC game.
That was pretty much the weekend. I came home last night and went to bed at about 8:30/9! Even thought we hadn't done a lot, I think the heat totally zapped my energy because I was exhausted. I think my body is going crazy with so much sleep though, I feel really out of it today.
This week is going to be another week full of local relaxation and fun - tomorrow us girls are getting pedicures and going out to dinner for Myla's birthday (which is on Wednesday) and on Wednesday we are going to Multiplaza to do a little shopping and to go see a movie - the boy in the striped pajamas? (i don't know if that's the title in english, but that's the translation of the spanish title) Not exactly a happy bday movie, but it looks so good and we all want to see it.
I've decided that if I could have changed my packing...I would have packed fewer clothes, and a few more books! I've been slightly bored during the weeks...but, at the suggestion of dear Beth and Myla, I am going to start reading the Twilight series which is available through the school library - for free! Yay for libraries! :)
I can't think of much else to update you all on...other than I'm SUPER excited for our semana santa vacation - I can't wait to do some surfing and horseback riding! It's kind of crazy, but if you think about it...after next week I will be almost half way through my time here; it's going faster than expected.
Miss you already Jill! :-*
