So, today was different than any other day. Instead of trying to fit in, we got to be tourists with our disposible cameras and all. As usual, we all met up in the library/lab of the school and from there we took off on a tour bus to San Jose. Our driver was Raphael and the guide was Juan. He liked to talk a lot; he could out talk me if he wanted to. But he was great. He told us every little detail about every mountain, street, and building (including the brothel).
Our first stop was a monument of a war against Nicaragua. The monument was cool and the park around it was beautiful. Next we drove around the city a little more and we arrived at the National Theater. To me it was one of the coolest theaters ever. It would be amazing to sing there. Outside the theater we got 5 colones bills which are like $2 bills in America; pretty but you can't use it. Next we walked over to the Gold Museum and commenced the most boring tour in my life. After that tour I now understand why my friends give me blank stares when I talk about math....to each his own!
By this point all of us were starving and I don't remember the next step but, finally, we got to the restaurant. We all ate an authentic CostaRican meal of beans, rice, plantains, some potato like thing and our choice of chicken, beef or fish. For dessert we could have coffee or rice pudding.
When we left the restaurant we went to a gift shop. All of your gifts are really cool! After we shopped we returned to the school (an hour late). At this point everyone went their separate ways. Some of us went to a party at Taelor's house, but there were a lot of people who did other things.
Overall this day was fun. We sang and talked our little hearts out and tomorrow we will do it all over again when we go to Inbio Park.
