Got up a little bit later this morning because I didn't have to go all the way to the institute for class. Cristina met me at the gas station and we walked down toward Santa Elena. Met up with Fernando and Tuona along the way and started Spanish class which basically consisted of getting to know the town a bit, practicing Spanish conversation and inquiries at local businesses. We actually learned a lot, including the fact that we can use the pool at the hotel "Poco a Poco" for about $10 for a whole day.
That would have been a nice way to spend yesterday or today (at the pool) because it's what they call "veranillo" which is basically "little summer." Every year on the feast of San Luis, Monteverde gets a day or two free of rain...now I understand why it rains so much here...that sun is HOT. Luckily there wsa a good breeze the whole time we were walking.
I still feel crappy, actually worse than yesterday, so one of my class interactions was with the pharmacist to get medication. Feeling better, and still drinking lots of water...I had the rest of the day to work on studio and to get ready for a soccer game that Anibal set up at the synthetic field against a local tico team. We got a little while to warm up and play against ourselves before they showed up and kicked our butts about 47 to 7...but no one was counting after about goal 12. haha. It was a good time, despite our losing. Wish I could have played a bit better and helped our team out, but it was all for fun!
Ate, and managed to stay up to watch the news with Marlen and Daisy but I'm fading fast!
