Earthquakes...

So I guess we had an earthquake down here? This is news to me since I did not feel anything! However thats probably due to the fact I was on a very bumpy bus ride returning from San Jose when it happened. The capital of Costa Rica is anything but glamourous. Consisting of numerous shops and street vendors, al centro is just plain grungy. I did not have time to visit the museum and national cathedral so I have yet to fully experience the capital. It has been wonderfully cool and rainy. On Wednesday I got to experience my first Costa Riccan mall and movie. The mall was really nice and compares to anything in the U.S. (except fashion square because nothing compares to that!) My favorite part had to be watching Robin Hood with spanish subtitles. It made the movie so much funnier! Tonight we are heading to a discoteca were the cambia, meranga, and salsa are danced. Even though I took the dance class on Wednesday I am sure my dancing tonight will be very entertaining.
Hasta Luego!

Hola Kacy, are you living in Heredia? If so, provide me your contact information (local cell #) and I can ask some of my Costa Rican amigos who work for Trax to contact you. I would let you know in advance and they would only be females :).

Winter rains are very heavy in Costa Rica and gives an appreciation for the large cement ditches alongside the roads instead of sidewalks!

I'm a follower of your blog now and love what you are experiencing since I lived there too!

Love you
Mary
