Tuesday 9/9/08

Today began with Spanish classes as usual. After class and lunch we made the long trek from our Spanish class campus to our Latin American studies campus. The walk takes about an hour. Myself and some others do the hour walk between the two campuses everyday (the majority of our group takes a taxi…those lazy gringos). Today, as we started the trek, it was sunny and beautiful. As the thunder go louder and the clouds darker, we knew we were about to get soaked. Sure enough for about ¾ of the walk it poured. That is something interesting about Costa Rica. It can be so sunny with beautiful blue skies and then within seconds (literally) it can just start pouring (way worse than Seattle). Although we were soaked, we made it to LASP in time for our afternoon class on Economics in Latin America. After a long class (3+ hours), I jumped on the bus and headed home. After a late afternoon of homework and some family time, we all sat down for our routine 8 pm dinner. We had the most delicious arroz con pollo dish I´ve had in Costa Rica. After dinner it was off to bed (at 8:45) because I was determined to wake up at 5 and go running
