Hola, All! Tuesday I went to the dance (baile) class at the school. It was completely different than the one I had in Monteverde. The instructor was like a whirlwind, constantly moving rapidly, keeping the pace fast moving. There were probably 24 people in the room, but maybe 7 males. I started out being a ´male´and ended up being a female when we changed partners. We learned 3 dances pretty quickly, one being the salsa; don´t remember the names of the other two. It was really fun but I was sweating bullets by the end.
Yesterday I took a tour of the city of San Jose, leaving the school at noon. I don´t know where I got the impression that it was a walking tour, but I was so wrong! The first half of the tour was riding around in the bus with the guide pointing out ínteresting´places, so interesting that I nearly feel asleep! The second half was better because we got out of the bus and visited the Central Park, a really pretty church, 2 museums, and a small jewelry store. Thank goodness I had my backpack with me because I did most of my homework while sitting on the bus. I sat up front with the busdriver and practiced my Spanish a little; I would have practiced more but I wanted his attention on the road, where the crazy motorcyclists zigzag in and out of trafic. By the time I got to the house where I am staying, it was 7pm.
Love to all and chao for now!
