So it´s been a fairly normal week so far. On Tuesday, a couple friends and I walked around San Jose during our break between classes. We went to a mall and a grocery store (the first REAL grocery store we have found - all the others are just tiny little shops). We wanted to get a mcflurry, but the ice cream machine was down (yeah, nothing changes). I also went to Pequeno Mundo for the first time. It's this GIANT store that sells things for super cheap, kind of like Sams club or Costco, with boxes everywhere and pretty random stuff (but they had a lot of stuff). I bought some plastic baggies for my sandwiches : )
Wednesday after Spanish class we all went to a park and had a picnic, then just soaked up the sun for awhile until some people had to go to class. I finished a bunch of post cards, so the first wave will be going out to family soon!
Thursday (today) we got a break from our 4 hour spanish lecture classes and visited the Museum of Costa Rican art. It was pretty cute, and we had a little picnic afterwards in the garden. After classes, we visited the same mall as on Tuesday. I had a really low blood sugar, but it was reassuring because another diabetic was there, a girl who is going to be a nurse, and someone who has been dating a diabetic for 6 years. I was well taken care of. I somehow managed to misplace my watch (which I LOVED) and, after turning my room upside down for the past 3 days and having my host mom look for there, too, I finally broke down and got a new one. Its just too hard to do anything here without a watch because there are literally no clocks. Anywhere. Tonight it was just ecology class and dance class, then preparing a presentation over the art museum for tomorrow and off to bed!!
Pura Vida!
