We saw the sun!!! And I swam in a warm ocean for the first time! Overall the weekend was enjoyable, but I felt like a tourist for the first time. That sucked. Quepos is a popular tourist place, so everyone speaks to you in english, the food was expensive, and when we went out everyone wanted to sell us something! But both me and Dawn saw our first monkey and sloth in the wild while in Manuel Antonio National Park. Oh yes, and we almost slept with a gecko! It was on our wall for a while(trying to sell us car insurance, of course) but then he hopped in our bed and I had to show him out. Nonetheless, he was pretty cute. Everyone should be proud of Dawn too, though she almost crapped her pants when I told her to bring the gecko outside, she did swim in ocean, which was an amazing feat for her (with her obscene fear of sharks and all). On the way home we planned our our 12 day trip and its looking pretty good! I looking forwardf to getting out of school; though I have learned alot while here. Dawn apologizes for not posting, but she is making reservations and speaking with her husband at he moment. We keep pretty busy. and I have to apologize for using the D* word in the last post, but I find that because Im not able to fully express myself in spanish, Im super emotional while speaking in english, which has resulted in more than one swear word. Perdon. I hope you still love me.

I almost forgot my favorite part!! Saturday night it started raining(a warm rain, of course) while me and Dawn were swimming in the pool. Soooo fun.

A word about the Honkys by Dawn
HOLY TOLEDO, they love their honkers. San Jose is very busy, large, lots of people everywhere. They drive crazy, of course, and they honk incendently. Our room is close to the street, in the compound of our host family, and we sleep to the gentle breeze of the traffic and the HONKY'S, they honk to say HI, they honk to say bye, they honk to say stop, go, you look good, cross the street, don't cross the street, you look like hell, go back to bed, and my favorite, which I know from personel experience, get the hell off the road because in .5 seconds I am going to run you the hell over. Good Times. One night, Britt and I woke in the middle of the night, and I said to Britt, "it is obscenely quiet and apparently a Tico agreed with me, because he drove by holding his honky for 30 seconds. I was once again able to slumber... and don't get me started on the F### Roosters. No, really I love it all. Even the roosters roosting their roost. AMEN
I´m pretty sure we could write a thesis about Ticos and their car horns. It´s intense.
