Palmares

Palmares was so much fun! We took a bus to San Jose real early yesterday and met with Megan's tico brother. We saw a lot of the city which is full of art. They have a lot of American chain resturants that are a lot nicer than the ones at home. There was a taco bell but they have things like fries with tomatoes on them. The McDonalds had fried chicken and was fancy and so was pizza hut. There are a few statues of a fat woman in the city and they believe if you touch her you'll have good luck.

That afternoon we got on a bus that Efran kind of rented to take us to Palmares and back. The bus was crazy and it took us about four hours to go 60 miles. The bus ride was probably more fun than palmares though so we didn't mind.

Our group all had tickets to see Fanny Lu except me and two others so we spent six hours wondering around Palmares. We found a freaky haunted house that you'd probably die going into so we didn't. We met lots of nice ticos and we even ran into other people from USAC. By the end we were so dirty and hungry and tired, we rode the bus back to San Jose and ate at 3 in the morning.

We stayed at Efran's and Quique, my tico brother, left at 6 this morning to go back to Palmares. He's crazy!

We're dirty, broke and tired but we made it home alive with lots of new friends.

Pe Pe! Pe Pe! Pe Pe!
