Today, I woke up and ate a delicious breakfast of rice mixed with beans, onions, cilantro, and other things, an egg, fried cheese, and some fruit! I have always wanted to make a cheese chip, and my dream was finally fulfilled. Muy bueno.
Ana then took me downtown to show me around. I didn't bring my camera, but don't worry there are plenty more photo ops. We got a phone card for me, and visited the church and central park and went through some shops.

When we returned, her nephew Antonio took me out on his moto and we went to a few different bike shops to find me a bike! Since it was lunch time, all the shops were closed but it was so cool to see the city from the back of a moto. It is surrounded by beautiful lush green hills.
An interesting thought came to me today. Dogs seem to bark differently here. I wonder if a dog in Costa Rica could understand a dog in the US. Do animals speak different languages worldwide? Hmm..

During lunch, the infamous rain started and it can rain! That means time for a siesta. Took a nice little nap and then headed back downtown with Antonio to find a bike. It was so nice having Antonio there helping me; I would have gotten a much worse deal.
I was going to bring my bike, but it would have been $400 both ways to transport it on the plane, so I bought this for just over a hundred bucks and I am going to give it to Antonio when I leave.
Antonio and I were able to communicate pretty well and although I feel like I haven't really learned anything new yet, I have been speaking a lot of Spanish since no one I am with speaks any English. Exactly what I wanted!
Oh yeah and my lost suitcase arrived!
