Spanish lass was sooooooooooo long today. We literally listened to a Shakira song about 5 times. Once to write down all of the verbs, next to fill them into the song worksheet, and twice more for I am not sure what. Then she went through every verb and told us its multiple meanings????? That was pretty much worthless. Plus, Shakira is so hard to understand. Needless to say, we were ready to get out of class. Hope, Rachel, and I came back to my house, then Joey, Ben, Bethany, and Mel came over. We talked to Herbert for a long time. It is nice to sit and talk to him, because everyone is interested in what he has to say and to learn more Spanish. I was thinking that back home, a lot of people would not be interested in sitting around talking to someone's grandpa, but it was nice to talk to him with everyone else. I learned some new words too.
Once Brennan got to the house, we all went to a MEXICAN restaurant. It was not quite the same as back home.... no endless chips and salsa, only one little bowl. The food was really good though. Ben handed me the Tabasco sauce and asked me if I had ever seen it before and wanted to try it. I then told him that it was from Louisiana. It is so crazy that it is all over the world. Of course though, not pepper on the table..... only Salt. We all went to the Park of Peace next. Hope flew a kite, got it stuck in a tree, and a little boy tried to come help her but ended up cutting the string. Next, everyone slid down this huge hill with cardboard. It was quite peligroso! Dangerous! There was a pregnant girl that went down with her friend, hit each other, and then just laid on the ground. It was pretty odd. A couple of my friends have some cuts too.
Then they rode this sketchy amusement ride. I watched :) Churros were next then we just played in the park and walked around the lake. It was really cool to watch the people though. We have decided that parents play with their kids more here. People were sliding down the hill with their kids and going down slides. There were so many people at the park too. That was nice to see. And it was also neat to see the city so well. There is this BIG hill in the park that you can walk up and see pretty much the whole city.
Just made it home, about to eat dinner at 7 with Mel then we are all meeting at school at 8 to go see Tron. It just came out here today. ALMOST everyone else is at Palmares. Ticos have told us that it is the 2nd biggest drinking festival behind Oktoberfest (sp?) sorry Zack. The school brought a bus of students today at 1 and they were not supposed to be coming home until 11 tonight, if traffic allows it. I am definitely looking forward to the movie with everyone and had such a great day just hanging out at the park.
Poas volcano tomorrow!!!!!
