¡Zourqui!

Hola everyboy!

Sorry I didn´t write yesterday, I was plagued with an unfortunate case of stomach gross-ness and was resting most of the day. I even had to leave the school early. I feel much better today, hopefully it will keep on this way and I´ll be good as new.

I was really happy that I felt well by the evening though because that´s when a group from the school all went together to San Jose to see our prof&friend José´s play! It was absolutely hilarious. The play´s titled ¨orgasmos¨and I bet you can imagine what the subject matter is haha! It was a 2 person play and they each played all the characters. I was so happy that I understood about 80% of anything that was said! That´s a great acheivement for someone who has never seen a show in Spanish before! Hilarious does not do the show justice :)

As I was waiting for the taxi last ngiht, friends of my host parents came over for some drinks and conversation. There were two guys and a girl, I think the guys were brothers but I´m not sure. Now, I know that I understand more that I can speak but when they speak really fast it´s so hard to understand. I´m pretty sure one of the brothers kind of ass-backwards asked me out haha! I can´t tell for sure but it´s kind of awkward sicne he´s definitely in his late 40s early 50s which, Ima and Aba, I know is not an ¨old¨ age, but it is for me to date haha! Anyways, no harm done, I think he was a little tipsy anyways, so hopefully he won´t remember!

TODAY! Was awesome. I went on a canopy tour on Mt. Zourqui which is actually really close to Sto. Domingo, where I´m staying. Luis, one of the managers for the company came to pick me up by one of the churches and took me to the mountain where I met my tour guides. When I got there I realized I was the only one because not many tourists or ticos (Costa Ricans) like to wake up early on the weekends and I was picked up at 8:30am. I didn´t know there were other options but it was actually really fun to be the only one there. There were two tour guides, Denis and Silso (I think was his name...) and through increasingly better Spanish I learned that they are both 23 as well which was cool. They were super nice and really helpful and were much more fun once they realized I actually have a sense of humur and can actually kind-of-sort-of-maybe joke around in Spanish too.

TOMORROW I am going rafting with two students from the school, Alyssa (American) and Jakob (Swiss). Taxi is picking me up at 6am eeeeek! It should be fine though... :)

On another note, turns out my friend Jensine from high school is also here in CR so we´re facebook-ordinating to see if maybe we can get together next weekend. That would be really fun especially since I haven´t seen her in ages, even back in the States.

Besos para todo and of course con amor
