BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!!

Whazzzzzup!!!!!!!!

So yesterday we decided again to get out of San Jose and headed to the city of Heredia. It was actually really nice. Because it was a beautiful Sunday there were people hanging out everywhere. Much ice cream was eaten. There was a really nice square infront of this beautiful old church and it was teeming with families just enjoying the day. We walked around the church gardens and then decided to check out the inside. Dave was kind of hessitant because there were a lot of people kneeling inside praying (eventhough it was like 130pm), but we decided it would probably be cool if we just stayed in the back row. So we went in and sat in the back and it was absolutly beautiful. Then this old man beside us got up and walked out the side door closer to the front. We had seen gardens on the other side so we thought there might be more on the other. So quietly, we followed the old man out the door where we discovered he hadn´t really gotten up to leave the church, but rather to piss in an urn full of sand and cigarrette butts. It was fun.

After that we went on a tour of a coffee plantation. We just took the bus and a cab to get to this place, but everyone else on the tour was with a massive tour group (they all had name tags and stuff... it was pretty funny). So it was us and this huge group of the tackiest, loudest, most eager to give away money, american tourists you could ever imagine. The best thing we saw was a woman who before the tour even started had gone to the gift shop and picked up two full bags with tee-shirts and coffee and every stupid thing they sold. She was also wearing a shirt saying how she had ´survived´a rainforrest zipline tour, i assume earlier in the trip. wow. We were a little dissappointed by the tour because it wasn´t so much a real tour as a play put on by three actors who humourously showed us the history of coffee and told us how it is picked-etc. After the tour a bunch of people from LA were asking the actors who wrote such a clever play and encouraging them to move to Hollywood, cause they could make it. I now know there is a form of theatre more demeaning than childrens´ theatre.

Now we´re gonna start looking for jobs. i can´t wait.

Be safe out there folks!!
