Well, so much for my 6 hours of alone time! After my mom and dad left, I was talking to my brother, and he was getting to out with some friends and invited me to join him. Ten minutes later, we were out the door and on our way to downtown San Jose. Needless to say, my homework progress is lacking :)
It was really great to go downtown with him. He is almost 21 (don’t get any ideas people :) and it was good to get to talk to him a little bit one on one. He is really quiet in the house (you have to be pretty aggressive to get a word in here!). We talked and walked around downtown while he showed me different markets and things like that. We met up with 2 of his friends and spent some time with them too. Overall, it was a really fun day, and I really enjoyed getting to know people my age herer in Costa Rica!
At 8:30pm, I rolled back in at home where I chatted it up with my mom for awhile. Well, it was quite awhile…I got to bed finally at 11:15 :)
This morning I attended Mass with my mom and sister. They are Catholic and it was really a good experience to go to the cathedral. I have learned a lot about Catholicism since being here in Costa Rica, so it wasn’t a total shock. Nonetheless, it was still good to experience it for myself. When we got home, we made pancakes (different than at home, of course), and then I was finally able to talk to my family which really made my day :) Unfortunately, I was in my bedroom for almost 2 hours with no air circulation. Oh, did I mention that it’s ridiculously hot here?! It is probably close to 95 degrees in my bedroom. It is amazing how different the weather is here even though it is only 1 hour away from my other house. It seriously is so hot here!
Who knows what will be going on the rest of the day. I know my sister wants me to help her study for her English test, so I’m sure I’ll be doing that at some point. Maybe I’ll get a chance to be alone. Nah, probably not :)
