For the past few days I've been chillin' at Costa Rica Backpackers in San Jose. Interesting experience. Somehow I'm the only American in my dorm so I've been talking with people from Holland, Montreal and Australia quite a bit. It's pretty sweet. I also talked to this Costa Rican lady that doesn't know any English. I thought I'd be nice and ask her if something was wrong (she looked sick) in Spanish and for some reason this gave her the impression that I knew the language. I think I've sort of adopted her now. Nevermind that she's like 50. This forces me to have actual conversations in Spanish. Ew.
I'm impatiently waiting for 8:00 tonight so I can go to the airport to get my mom and Cherie. FINALLY! It's been like 6 years since I've seen anyone familiar, I think. I'll be home one week from today though. That's pretty weird in itself. And pretty much a relief since somehow, once again, I have absolutely no money. I don't know how this keeps happening. Of course it might have something to do with the whole traveling around Central America thing but I'm not sure. I NEED A JOB!!
Okay, I'm really not into this whole typing thing and, knowing the computers here, this beast is going to shut down in about 30 seconds. I guess I'll go to a museum or something. Culture. Hmm.
