San Jose Mayhem

Ahh this weekend was sooo tiring but so much fun. My mom’s coming to Costa Rica to visit me! In less than 2 weeks she will be here!

So this weekend we went to San José with the Latin American Cultures class. We had 3 field trips for the class and this was the one overnight (actually spent two nights). It was really fun. I like San José. I definitely wouldn’t want to leave there, a little too crazy, but it was fun to experience it. We went to el teatro nacional (national theater) which had some really cool architecture and paintings then we went to the national museum which again was cool but a little boring (you know me and how much I love history). Then we had the night free so we went to a mall and had subs from quiznos and frostys from wendys and we went to the movies! Lauren and I saw shutter island with Leonardo dicaprio. It was good. A little freaky, like sixth sense freaky, but good. Messed up at times haha. Then we just hung out at our hotel (which we had all to ourselves, like 30 USAC students) because we rented out all the rooms. Then Saturday we went to a church and another museum and another church and then drove to this really pretty view of the Orosi Valley. It was probably one, if not the prettiest view, I’ve seen in Costa Rica so far. Then we went to the mall again and had taco bell! And shopped and I got the indrustial piering in my ear! It actually didn’t hurt that bad. It hurts more now haha. Then we went out to “El Pueblo” which means “town” in English but it was CRAZY. Its basically like 3 blocks (a little town) of bars and clubs and mayhem. It was one of the USAC student’s birthday so we all went out to celebrate. Haha. It was really funnn. Tequila shots are 2 for $1.75 and the clubs have like dancers on stages and let girls in for free. It was crazy but really fun. I hung out with some USACers that I haven’t spent much time with and talked and hungout with some ticos and some people from Colombia too! Then Sunday (today!) we went to another church and walked around san jose stopping at places like parks and important places and ended up at this hippie market where I bought some cool presents for people!

Overall, san jose was really fun. Definitely and experience but fun and I wouldn’t mind going back there for a weekend possibly. Oh and movie tickets were only $3!
