... about 5 months after her last pair were swiped in Thailand. On the way back went to the main bus termianl to get ticket out for the following day and bumped into weird Ameriacn fella who wanted to "help us Gringo´s" by taking us out of the most dangerous area in Costa Rica, before launching into a tirade about how his local wife, and mother of his child, wont give him any money and how he would leave this godforsaken country if it wasn´t for his daughter. Decided to drop ...

... In addition, busses will drop you off anywhere. The bus doors are always open, so If you see a place that you want to get off, you just stand up and get off. <br><br>The bus will stop&#8230;sort of. <br><br>3. Stop is a relative term.<br><br>You need to be prepared to hop on even if the bus doesn&#8217;t really stop and hop off at maybe 10 miles per hour. Make sure you are always in the front so the bus driver will at least slow down for you to ...

... type of cauliflower so I took a picture (tastes like cauliflower, looks like broccoli/a pine tree). Strange looking but tastes normal.<br><br>A bunch of us are going out to El Sultan (bar/club) tonight bc its our 2nd to last night before our final on Friday so for most people its their 3rd last night (to go out, 4th if you want to party the night before the final).<br> <br>

... it is usually 2 for 1 for movies here so it gets really crowded. Since Terminator has been out for a long time it wasn&#8217;t too crowded but there were still a decent amount of people there. It&#8217;s a shame movies come out later here than in the US because we wanted to see the new Johnny Depp movie or Harry Potter but we think they will be here next week. After the movie I had dinner at home and then packed up. I went to bed really early. I&#8217;m kind of ...

... last bus and we had more people with us on this trip so it was quite a tight fit. Oh well, so when we got to Pocora, we stopped at a Medicinal Plant farm/finca. It was really interesting to see the plants for things like cilantro or seasonings we eat in our everyday food. We were told of plants to use for different ailments or problems and we got to smell and taste all sorts of things. We saw a bunch of animals at the finca&#8217;s farm, as well including pigs and ...

... of animals but was still cool, so much life going on there, we saw this massive tree which had completely disintegrated after being killed of by a massive vine, so the tree was actually not there anymore, just the vine on the outside, really cool. That brings us up to tonight, and I´m in a rush to get up to the pub to join Mark and watch the rest of the NBA match between Cavaliers and Magic, go LeBron James, such a legend. Talk to ye soon, I´ve only got 12 days left... One more blog I think!

... visiting. I have have started going to the local public school each day. We wear uniforms, white shirts and navy pants. The school is nice. I have a very bright and airy classroom. I like my teacher a lot. My friend Max goes there too and I have a new friend named Coleston. We make paper airplanes at recess and I write our names on them. Three is the magic number. Yesterday I finished I finished my fifth Magic Treehouse book. It was called Eathquake ...

... section, pick up a coconut and walk over to a man who looks friendly. (Neal here - this method has worked quite reliably for Annette over many years). "¿Cómo se dice en Español?" I asked. With a very puzzled look on his face, he replied, "It's a coconut." "It's the same in Spanish as in English?" We both started to laugh. (Neal SMIRKED). We both had assumed the other one was ...

... valleys and was close enough to hear the sounds of the rainforest and waterfalls. Hummingbirds landed on the shrubs surrounding our balcony and butterflies flitted through the air. We took a little bit of time to relax and unpack and then headed out to explore our immediate surroundings and the main restaurant at the Lodge. The service was amicable and the waiter was polite, social and helped us to brush up on our Spanish etiquitte and phrases ...

... I go. Today we managed to squeeze it in. I asked him to teach me a song, and he started picking a familiar pattern on an E minor chord. "House of the Rising Sun?" I guessed. He said he didn't know the name, but when he played a couple higher notes I recognized it as "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica. Funny he should pick that. I tried learning the riffs once, and gave up, but I have a bit of history with the song. Anyway, he played the more complicated lead and I played James ...
