McPollo

I just got to the hostel I'm staying at and it's great. I would definitely recommend staying in one if you plan on traveling cheap. It's like living in the dorms with all these people from everywhere.

I met up with this guy and girl who are also staying in the hostel and we're going to go see all of san jose tomorrow. The guy, Lee, introduced us to his friend Jody who has lived here awhile and is involved in campus crusades. She took us to her old host family's house because it was the grandma's 87th birthday. They were so inviting and they had a huge family. They had two houses where a lot of the family lived, which had a courtyard that they decorated. It was gorgeous. Everything is so green and alive.

We have to take taxis everywhere we go and there aren't trafic laws so they drove as crazy as I do. (I appologize to everyone who's told me i'm a scary driver, I now know what it's like to have your life flash before you). There's no speed limit, no cops and the drivers always try and rip us off cause we're gringos.
