gratsi

sorry about the last post. i got frustrated. it was wrong. i'm sorry. i'll try to talk about my feelings and not bottle them up inside.
anyways... we had a great 3 days with kims parents last week. we saw an amazing gold museum where we learned how to smelt gold... INDIAN STYLE!! We visited the national theatre of Costa Rica where we learned that all good theatres have to have a ghost to be good. So thats whats holding back the Toronto theatre scene... not enough fatalities. We also visited McDonalds where we learned that twist cones are delicious.
then kims parents went to the osa peninsula and we think they had a great time. kim gets vibes. Shes like medium that way. Also cause shes blond and beautiful. Ohhh Medium/kim.....

my parents arrived on thursday. we met them at their hotel and then showed them where we live and work. within 5 minutes of us leaving them my mom lost her ATM card in a bank machine. luckly there were some students from ulatina around them to make a call to the bank. So they went back to thier hotel and tried to rectify things. kim and i went by after class. we were promised beer but they never bought any. something about being distraught. the holiday was ruined

or was it.

the next day at 9 we went down to the central bank downtown and luckly got my mom´s card back. she was very happy and went around saying "gratsi" to everyone in the office. unfortunatly in Costa Rica people speak spanish.
With teh card back we toured San Jose for a while and then picked up their rental car and drove to La Fortuna, which is a town right below Volcan Arenal... the biggest volcano in CR. It was cloudy. in three days we never really saw the top. I think it was because there being too much lava and fire. kim thinks i already made that joke, but laughs none the less.

it was nice to get away from our shanty dwelling in the city and into the lush fatcat lifestyle of a swinging north american tourist. i only spoke english, and if people didn't speak it, i'd just speak english louder to them. we went to some amazing hot springs. it was like they were hot rivers running through the rainforest. it was crazy. so were the mai tais. the next day we went walking in the cloud forest and saw three different kinds of monkeys. i like the orange ones.... kim liked the black ones with white faces. i think its cause they're the ones in friends. i swear if there was a worm named Chandler it would become her favourite animal in the world. Dont get me started on smelly cats.....

so then yestday with many tears we left my parents and took a....sigh.... bus back to San Jose. Walking up the street we heard the familiar sound of our neighbours tattoo artist friend doing some more touch ups. it was good to be home.

this week should be crazy. We have to give exams for our classes on wednesday and thursday adn then on thursday my sister arrives. We have next week off and the three of us are planning to go to Bocas Del Toro.. this string of islands on the carribian side of panama. this lady we work wth just told us she ate lobster there every night. hopefully it will be good... if kim doesnt get too crabby....

little shellfish humour for you there.
