Saturday 11/1/08

Wow. I never thought November would come this fast. This morning I woke up and headed on a run. I met up with Mami and Papi at the feria (farmer’s market) after my run and we bought a bunch of fruits and vegetables I’m sure you’ve never even heard of. Afterwards we headed to Moravia to buy all the necessary ingredients for Mami to make chocolate. She sells it to all the local pulperias and she’s also making a bunch of an upcoming chocolate feria. We were back to the house by 8:30 and a family breakfast of bread, eggs and coffee (which I thankfully do not have to drink like I did in Nicaragua). The first half of our day was pretty chill. I was extremely cold for some reason so I laid in bed covered in layers of clothes and blankets and watched part of Twister. I hate wasting Saturday mornings like this, but for some reason I wasn’t feeling that great (but don’t worry, I’m not sick) After lunch Pamela and I started to get ready to hit the town. That’s right. Some friends and I who have younger female siblings planned a day to go take our sisters to go see High School Musical 3. We left the house around 1:15. I could tell Pamela was so excited because she got all dressed up and couldn’t wait to get there. We met up at the National Theater. Pamela ended being the only sibling to show up so Pamela had the love and attention of a bunch of gringas. We headed to the movie theater. Unfortunately the soonest showing only has 4 seats left and there were 5 of us, so we had to wait an extra unplanned hour. Luckily my friend, Kayla, had some cards and we played cards in the food court and ate all our snacks that were supposed to be for the movie. We headed back to the theater and had to stand in line forever. Pamela was getting a little tired of waiting around, but was an overall good sport. We finally got into the theater around 4:45 and waited for the movie to start. Pamela was smiling the entire movie and I could tell she was very happy with her “movie date” with the gringas. We all made our way back to San Jose via bus, called Mami to let her know we were safe and then took our bus home to Tibas. Pamela was whipped and fell asleep on the way home. It was a Kodak moment to record the day. We came home and waited for Mami and Papi to arrive home for dinner. We had sandwiches and somewhat of a quiet dinner since we were all extremely tired. I did the dishes (I have dish duty on Fridays and Saturdays) and fell asleep to SNL.
