Also....it was someone's special day this week!! In honour of Dave's birthday I took him out for a rousing roller skating party at the local rink. He said it was just like his grade 4 party because they went roller skating, which I assume is a good thing because I always had really fun birthday parties as a kid. Also, most of the kids at the rink in San Pedro looked like they were in grade 4. Unlike any boring roller rink in Canada that I have been to, this one was full of surprises, such as a game of cops and robbers and a speed skating competition! Here's a picture of the under 6 girl competition:
We didn't actually participate in the games because the instructions were in Spanish over a loudspeaker. Our new friend Pedro participated though. He was hardcore and approximately 10 years old. He was actually a little scary as he would skate behind us and grab our hands. Also, I thought reggeton was annoying when I wanted to sleep at the beach. It turns out it is amazingly fun to roller skate to. Also, Spanish speaking 6 year olds love singing along to My Humps...that part is kind of weird and disturbing, especially since they don't pronounce "lovely
lady lumps" correctly. I must admit that I didn't feel that old or out of place until I noticed that everyone in our age group was sitting along the sides watching their children...man...Costa Rica is weird.
Anyhow, Dave put the camera on manual, so sadly all the pictures of him are blurry. But since he was pretending to be a pouty child in them, they looked bad anyhow. A picture of me turned and and shows just how much fun we had:
Dave got a chess board for his birthday. He looks so happy because I don't know how to play chess, so he keeps beating me.
