It's a lazy Saturday in Ticolandia, the first since I arrived that I haven't had to anything scheduled... and I've needed it! We got back to the hostel around 3:30 yesterday afternoon and I went straight to sleep, barely even waking up until 9 this morning. It must have been an even longer week than I thought.
Several volunteers headed off to the beach in Jaco very early this morning, and most of those remaining left to go see a nearby volcano shortly after. They woke me up several times begging me to come along, but I was partially comatose and only regained consciousness for long enough to tell them to shut up and let me go back to sleep. Therefore, I would like to take this opporunity to extend an apology to a certain Brit whose accent I may or may not have rudely imitated this morning. I love you, Silvia!
After I got up, I headed over to the cafe at el Teatro Nacional (the National Theater) for iced cappuccino. Then I took a taxi to the Multiplaza in Escazu, the Tysons Galleria of San Jose, and spent a few hours wandering around. I found an international bookstore and stocked up on enough reading material to last at least a month... I hope. Had lunch at an Italian restaurant there then headed back into San Jose, crossing the street to the hostel just as the first drops of the afternoon rain began to fall. Now I'm sitting on the front porch reading a book and watching the rain, waiting for the volcano crowd to get back.
That's pretty much it! Tomorrow should be more of the same before we start another week of classes on Monday, our last week before we move in with our host families. Can't wait!
