sorry i havent posted for a couple days. ive been really busy. on monday we went to the phone company to see if we could get set up with phones for annette and i. the company is run by the government so getting a cellphone is just like going to the DMV. we were there for three house and we still werent able to get phones. it was definately a surreaeal experiece for me. Later on that evening Annette and i finally got to spend some time alone together and went out to dinner. We went to this place called Olio which is a nice restaurant with all sorts of food. we got a falafel platter that had croquetas(kind of like cheese sticks) after dinner we stopped by the cheesecake house and got a Smurf cheesecake, it was raspberry flavored. so good! on the way home i finally got to see how smart the street dogs are here, we saw one that was crossing a street and he stood on the edge of the sidewalk looking in all directions until it was clear for him to cross the street. im going to try and get a video next time i see it because i was amazed.
so tuesday was the rainiest day ive seen here so far, it was pouring with thunder and lightning all day, we actually had to run through it because annette wanted me to "experience costa rica". we ran from kasasana to mimas house (3blocks) and got so wet that we had to use a blow dryer to dry our clothes.pretty nuts! i also got to try out taco bell and mcdonalds here, mcdonalds is actually way better than in the states, i was stoked because i got some of their soft serve. SOOO GOOD! from there we hung out with annettes cousin and drove around san jose looking at some of the places annette used to live and seeing her old university before she came to FIDM. we also saw this restaurant called friday, its an exact replica of the ones in the US. i guess TGIF is actually sueing them right now about it. we also hit up taco bell, i was severly disapointed by the chalupas because they tasted old and stale but they have a thing here called fiesta fries and those were awesome.
on wednesay i stayed home all day and just read and slept. that evening Dani and some of her friends took me out to go drinking! the bar we went to was pretty chill and right next to where are staying. we got three beers for two bucks and three shots for the same. all in all it was a really chill night and a lot of fun.
yesterday we went to annettes aunts for lunch and had chicken and potatos. i am absolutely in love with the food here! i had this juice called Cas. it tastes like sweet grapefruit juice, so good!
