June 16-18

My weekend was a lot of resting...I sure needed it. Last Thursday I got pretty drunk and then Friday was rough, my leg fricken killed. I couldn't go to the hike and camping with the rest, so I stayed home and slept and spent time with the family. I had the craziest ride of my life Saturday with Adolfo--my mom's exhubby. It was so fast and the car had no brakes and no horn. The kids also showed me where the most 'dangerous' man in Monteverde lives....and they told me not to say hola to people like I do now. Saturday for lunch Adolfo came over and ate with us--it was the first actual family dinner. I took the kids with me and Asia to Santa Elena- I think we had a good time. Sunday, I met Chen- omg this kid has an imagination. He's their cousin but lives in the States. He tried to tell me he walked from Chiago to Florida. He said he didn't have a dog then all of a sudden his dog ate people that were younger than him and the dog was 6-7-8. He also kept talking about farting when you pull your finger...he was so funny. We were supposed to go to the 'pools' but Adolfos car broke down and we stopped at the mechanics for over2 hours before giving up and going home in a taxi. We ate lunch after I got to talk to my whole family...everyone sounds good! I miss everyone though!!!! Ribs without me- you f-ers. I ran with Estepahnia to see the sunset then headed back for family din. I had a family dinner for dia del padre it was veggie and chicken lasagna, cinamon plantinas, salad and lemonade- it made me think of ambers lasagna for some reason and I miss her too!!!! Then my mom wanted to go dancing so I went with her to Bar Amigos. I met lots of ticos ---adolofo wants me to get a tico bf...oh adolfo! I danced with one tico for a while then with Anibal --he was with a bunch of people and we ran into him. My mom danced with lots of men..she's super cute! I love her....I turned down a few men but felt bad but my knee started to hurt and I wasn't drunk so I was more self concious about my dancing. I need to practice my spanish a lot more if I am going to learn. LOVE YOU ALL!
