Today I woke
up and lazed around for a bit then had breakfast. I packed up my stuff and got ready
to head back to San Jose. I walked to the bus station and bought my ticket and
sat down and waited. I waited maybe 30 – 40 minutes for the bus. It was late.
The bus ride took about 3 - 4 hours. I left after 12 pm and got into San Jose
in around 4 something. I then decided I would walk around and see if I could
find the bus station and buy my ticket to Boca del Toro since it is recommended
that you buy tickets across country in advance. I walked around for a while and then ended up
walking in circles (with the help of helpful Costa Ricans) as I tried to find
the bus station. I finally found the “bus station” which is just a spot in
front of a hotel. When I asked about buying tickets I was told I should just
come tomorrow and buy the ticket when I board at 9 am. SMH! It wasn’t the walk
that was bad but it was a bit hard because I had a backpack on (not my big
backpack) and it didn’t distribute the weight well so my back was starting to
hurt. I then called my friend and we agreed to meet downtown at the theater. He
wanted me to speak for his English class around 6 pm about my trip. We met up
around 5 something or another and then walked toward his class. After we walked
to his class I met his teacher and then we decided I would come back later at 8
pm after I had eaten (I am not pleasant when I don’t eat!!!). I walked around to
look for something to eat and ended up eating at McDonalds (gross). I
personally don’t like McDonalds but it was convenient and it had Wi-Fi! So I
ate and used their Wi-Fi and then returned to speak at my friend’s class. I talked
about my trip for about 1 hour. I didn’t really have a plan and kind of just free
balled it. I am not sure how much they understood since they are still learning
English but I think they got some to most of it. Class ended a little bit before
9 pm and then we got a ride back to my friend’s house. I was tired so I packed
my stuff and went to bed. Oh did I say how I need to do laundry very, very,
very soon? Very…
