Neena was taking the day off, so I was the main man today.  Unfortunately, the kiddos were riled up because they were going on a fieldtrip later on during the day.  They were crazy.  While the other classes were on the field trip, I worked on some of my OSU homework and did a few other things to keep myself busy.  After school, McCall, Katie, and I walked over to the bus stop to catch a bus to San Jose.  We were going to a resort called Punta Leona which is about 10 km from Jaco on the Pacific side.  Once we got to San Jose, we got tickets for the 4:00 bus to Jaco and enjoyed the bus ride.  We were able to get the bus driver to let us off at Punta Leona, so we were there by 6:00.  Naturally, since we got to the gates pretty early, it took forever for the shuttle to come pick us up at the gate and take us to the reception area and to get checked in.  It almost took as long to get into our hotel room as it did to get there from San Jose.  After that, we had our lovely $20 dinner and then walked around the resort.  There were about 6 swimming pools, a couple of bars, beach volleyball, an enclosed turf soccer field, supermarket, and two private beaches.  It was like its own little community.  We got some bread, peanut butter, and honey to make some sandwiches to avoid paying $20 for dinner tomorrow.  Before you knew it, it was bedtime after the walk around the resort.
