¡¡¡Escandalo!!!

My day started off amazing with my absolute favorite costan rican food of all time: gallos! It was salchicón grilled and wrapped in a mini tortilla...the only thing to make them better would be pineapple slices, but you can't ask for everything...Oh and chocolate milk which we have a lot. that would be the best breakfast ever =) But after breakfast I walked up to the bus stop in Moravia because the San Rafael/Moravia to San José was all sorts of messed up today and wasn't running. So I did my normal route to school and found out am I back with my old spanish teacher, Pablo again, sigh. But he still is a good teacher...just not as good as this last one was =( Kayla and I walked down to the Center of town for some McDonalds today...it was pretty much the same as in the States only a girl walks around with a wifi enabled PDA and takes your order in line and then you pay when you get to the front of the line with your food there. It is a lot more efficient when it is packed with people and it was like that all day. We then walked outside to the plaza and sat down to eat and was greated by swarms of pigeons...the most I have ever seen in my life. The lady's were yelling Corn! Corn! Get your corn! at both ends of the plaza and a family decided to sit right next to us and feed the pigeons...I love people. From there we walked back to school, picked up Tammy, and then headed back to the same spot to visit the Museo de Niños. Let me tell you, this place is in a sketchy place. It was obviously closed and it obviously started raining, and there were obviously the stray dogs out that look sickly and dangerous. One guy got attacked on our way back. He used his umbrella to keep the dog away and it worked very well. On the same street we saw a man on the sidewalk with police over him and some onlookers. He might have been dead, but I'm not 100% sure...I didn't see blood but he was not even close to moving and seemed almost like a frozen statue. I didn't want to find out so we kept on walking past the hobos in their soaked raggy clothes and cardboard boxes. Some boy tried to sell me pencils and the rain gradually got harder. We did a little shopping while we were there. I am saving my shopping until tomorrow for when Kayla and Tammy are getting their haircuts and I can shop without worrying about other people. It's better that way. When I got home I cut out foam board corsettes for one of Jenny's neices parties and was taken to a town meeting in Moravia. It was intense. There were people lined up down the stairs, where I was, and every type of person: old, young, and nuns. It got extremely out of hand and noisey so the police were called in to monitor. It got so intense that there is a protest/ riot scheduled for tomorrow at 6h30am in the center of Moravia. Maybe you will hear about it on the news lol. William tells me it shouldn't be as bad as other colonias that burn cars and stuff. All I kept on hearing was "¡escandalo!", "¡ladrones!", "¡corruptos!", and "¡Mañana, vamos por las calles!" We will see how things turn out =)
