Coffee Shop

Yesterday I 'graduated' from the Spanish school! It feels like that week just flew by. And my Spanish... well, it's somewhat better I think. :)

Yesterday the waves were flat again, so I spent most of the day talking to random people. I went to Olga's coffee shop, and got a soy mocha.... yay! I felt like I was back in Seattle for a bit. There's even free wifi in that shop so I could use my phone just like at home. Too bad everyone I called was at work, ha ha!

I think Olga's is one of the ex-pat hangouts here. Everyone who came in and chatted with me was an ex-pat, mostly U.S.

Last night I went to the rodeo again, I think I am getting rodeo-ed out here, but tonight is the grand finale so I'll go check that out too. The interesting thing at the rodeo is that if you go and sit in the stands it is a large percentage of tourists, while down on the ground are all the locals. They don't want to pay the 2000 colones (about $4) for a seat in the stands.

Other exciting news - my Costa Rican mom cooked lobster last night, so I have now eaten lobster for the first time. It was good, man! Me gusta. :)
