the only things we havent eaten are the rest of the coffee, salt and sugar... gonna be a great lunch

Well this is our last day here, and the past 24 hours have been full of last minute stuff to get ready...
actually thats a lie. for the past two weeks kim has been writing list after list of things to do, and it got to the point on thursday that we had nothing left to do before leaving. NOTHING. It was kind of strange having no tasks to complete. We felt lost and aimless. So, first we saw da vinci code, and the sad thing is i am not sure if the yelling teenagers and the crying baby in the theatre ruined anything. The next day we bought a screw to fix our laundry machine, even though we probably didnt have to, and then went to the mall. It was free comic book day, so we waited in line for an hour to get a free comic book. It sort of felt like a waste of time but i thought 'what else are we gonna do.' Kim was actually kind of upset that the line took her away from her new hobby: trying to figure out the combination of her parents luggage lock. She couldn't remember it, and she thought there were only 10,000 possibilities, so why not just go through. She figured she would hit it eventually. By early this morning she was at 9800, and was feeling pretty low. I asked her if she had checked 9999, and she said she had. So, she just kept on trucking until she got to the end with no luck. Before she started again at 0001 i asked her if she had checked 0000. she said of course (idiot) and went to check it again. it was 0000. Well, i guess the upside is that it kept her mind distracted and not talking about the last time she went to europe (by the way if you ever see her ask her if they ever took extra pastries from a hotel, and made it both their breakfast AND their lunch.... ohhh she's so bad...)

So, in leaving Costa Rica i leave you with my favourite bust of all.




I love it because it looks exactly like "the watcher" from marvel comic books. It is actually this guy who helped develop penicillin from snake venom or something, but the bust sits on a 10 foot stand and is then looking down with these empty eyes on everyone going past.... watching...
speaking of which we woke up at 430 this morning and the only thing on TV was 90210... it was the episode when brenda and donna returned home after a summer in paris... it made me thing of all of you

also brandon started dating this girl but totally dumped her cause she kept on making racist jokes. i really learned something.
love dave and his lovely girlfriend kim
