Quick entry from finicky internet
Internet was down last night so I had to get up a little early to do some stuff =/ I've got to get ready soon so this is gonna be short, lol. Yesterday I ate cauliflour...and...it was actually not that bad. I am finally accustomed to fried plantains too, which I have everyday (because a "casado" comes with it, and a casado only costs 1800-2000 colones which is a little over $3 for rice, beans, plantain, some type of meat, salad (but I get more rice and beans), juice, tax, and tip). It's kind of weird because there are somethings that cost nothing here, like that, and most of the other prices are the same as in the US. After lunch Kayla, Tammy and I went back to the school to make the final reservations on our trip today. I am going to Cartago today with my class, and then after that we rented a car that we are going to take up to Monteverde tonight. I'll keep it a surprise, what we are doing, but I should be back by Sunday night...Not looking forward to the bugs up there...Last time I was up there I can't remember if I mentioned it but there were bugs EVERYWHERE. In the morning I remember waking up, taking a shower, and then seeing little bugs crawling over the sheets (not the bed cover) and all over my bag and stuff. I mean they were little (like the size of those microscopic ants) so it didn't bother me as much. After lunch Kayla and I went for a walk while Tammy had dance lessons sponsered by Intensa. We walked to the grafittid part of town (not that there is a specific section hahaha). I should say super-graffitied part of town. It was beautiful! We did basically an art walk and it was so interesting. I really like grafiti and would conscider it art as long as it is a picture and time went into it. These pictures were pretty elaborate too. Of course there were A LOT of stenciled things (which is kind of fun) but it was amazing. Ok, need to shower and take the bus to school. Excited for fieldtrip/vacation...should have some amazing pics when I get back =)
