Like I said, there's never a dull moment in Costa Rica.
I came down with a pretty bad cold Monday morning and was feeling miserable by the time I woke up yesterday so I stayed home from Spanish school and managed to sleep almost all day. A couple friends stopped by the the hostel after dinner so I sat out on the porch with them for a while. I was headed back to bed when a cat ran out from under my bed and into the bathroom.
For the past 3 days or so, we had been hearing a very loud meowing sound coming from the drain pipe in the common room, so we assumed that a cat had climbed into the gutter and gotten stuck in the pipe. I went out with a flashlight around 1:30 one morning when it was keeping me awake but couldn't do anything. So obviously the cat had found a way out of the pipe and was now free in our bedroom.
The next 45 minutes were spent trying to capture the cat. Finally, many scratches later, between myself, the cleaning lady (who doesn't speak a word of English), and Mikkel from Denmark, we were able to trap the cat in a trash can covered with Mikkel's coat and release it back onto the street.
Now I am sitting in the ACI office waiting for my meeting about my project. 3 more people have gotten sick, probably because of the close proximity in the hostel, but thankfully we only have a few more days left.
