So nothing spectacular happened on Day 23 or 24 except....I happen to like my class a lot!
Now onto the 25th. San Jose. Oh yes we, Stephanie and myself explored another area on our own time by ourselves.
It all started with a 5hr busride at 3am. Below is a pic of the first mall we went to.
Notice the MULTIPLE stories.
Here is a view of one of the streets and all the red taxis. :)
Well after 5hours on a bus, several hours of shopping (including 2 malls and one really long street,) a wonderful lunch, speaking spanish everywhere and a 5.5hr busride back...we danced.
Tonight was Pacifico. This is a term you might here a lot in Costa Rica. Tonight is...Pacifico, Aqua, Monkey Bar, ect.
So here is a pic of Pacifico :)
Overall today was one of the greatest days while in Costa Rica. It was incredible doing things on our own and having to use Spanish everywhere, since San Jose is not a tourist area. We took several taxis, where of course I asked them a million questions. The final one I think gave us a discount too :)
Tip 9: Bring some multivitamins...everyone gets sick. The longer you stay the more times you'll get hit with whatever it is that week.
Tip 10: Start taking pics and buying items your first week of everything. Waiting last minute makes everything a last minute rush.
Accomplishment day 25: Executed a whole day trip to another area with another student..and it was AWESOME!
So, are the bus's very crowded at 3:00am? Day 25 sounds like a totally fun adventure, once you get past the long bus ride each way. BTW, were you able to sleep on the bus at all, or did it have lots of stops on the way to San Jose?
ReplyDeleteCool picture of the mall, I love the colors and stairs. Was there four levels to it? That's huge...
Also very cool that you used your Spanish everywhere.
