I finally got the tip on how to make to shower warm, so I had my first warm-ish shower in Costa Rica!  That made for a good Thursday morning.  After a breakfast of cereal and fruit, we could see the bus, so we made a run for it.  It was in the spirit of the Olympics.  During school, I had the chance to observe a 6^th grade geography class.  It was really interesting because he tied the concept of latitude and longitude to how the EU works.  Plus with several students from the EU, the lesson seemed relevant to all.  We did our same lesson plan with the 10^th grade US History class that we finally got to meet.  This was an interesting class because it consisted of 12 girls and 2 boys; completely unlike all the other classes that seem to be male dominant.  They really enjoyed playing 7-up.  After school, I went with Zoe to San Jose to buy bus tickets for this weekend.  We bought tickets to Puntarenas where we will catch a ferry to take us to Santa Teresa.  Getting to and fro San Jose was significantly easier today than last week!  After our escapade, we came home to a dinner of jamon, potatoes, cucumbers, and tomatoes mixed with red onions.  Muy delicious.  I spent the rest of the night finishing homework for OSU and watching the last episode of “Numbers,” a show that I watched during the month of dead time between Christmas and my trip.  Tomorrow’s Friday!
