... catch, I had to walk 4-5 blocks and travel a good ways underground to the appropriate subway line. It was early and I was not worried about getting robbed, but by the time I reached my subway train, I was pretty exhausted and my back was all in knots. <br><br>I boarded the subway, staying guard to my 4 bags during all the stops. I got many weird stares as people wondered how I managed to carry all the bags myself. With the ...

... in Hojancha. It is difficult to walk down the street without someone shouting your name or giving you the friendly Pura Vida! One of my best friends, Maikol, is a taxi driver, which can really come in handy. The other day I had a TON of laundry to carry back from Ricardo's house (the only guy in town I know with a washing machine). As I was struggling with the awkward and heavy ...

... stod på den. Heldigvis slap de fleste med mindre skrammer, og en enkelt's ben kom i gibs. Det var virkelig en skræmmende oplevelse, har aldrig i mit liv hørt så stort et brag, og så mange der skreg. Var virkelig uhyggeligt. Men alle har det godt nu, og vi er kommet godt til Coco.<br>Idag har vi bare slappet af og nu her skal vi ud og hente vores cykler. <br>Håber at I alle har det godt derhjemme. Og Peter du passer lige lidt på dig selv :)

... to get nice again until next week. I am running off to Turrialba for a night on Saturday and hopefully I will find the sun there. I have found tons of time for reading, planning for school, playing spider solitaire on my computer, watching tela novellas, and old clips from music videos with my family. I have read the first 2 installments of the Twilight series, My Antonia, and The Lives of the Cell. All really good, really different reads.

... that there'd be like fairies and sparkles flying around saying "You are in a cloud!" But really it's just a thick fog. I didn't realize we were in a cloud until the second time I zip-lined (there were 10 zip lines in all) -After zip lining, I went on the internet to look up classes. -At home, we had pasta and meat sauce for dinner. -Bed at around 9:30pm Day 5 (Friday) -Final ...
