We packed up our bags and bid our goodbyes to Manuel Antonio.  On the way back to San Jose we got stopped by police again on a random check for IDs and passports.  I haven’t seen anyone get pulled over in the two and a half months I’ve been in Costa Rica and yet my grandpa gets pulled over twice in two days.  We did however make it to San Jose without any further problems.  Grandma was feeling less than stellar, so Grandpa and I drove towards Santa Ana to get gas and find some lunch.  Because I have a big portfolio assignment due tomorrow, I spent a good chunk of the afternoon working on it in the lobby because I finally had decent wifi.  (It wouldn’t be an official break if I didn’t have some sort of big homework assignment hanging over my head).  At least the championship of the Copa del Rey was on television and I got to see Real Madrid beat Barcelona on a clutch goal with five minutes left.  And there were cookies in the lobby.  I got to skype my dad for his birthday, which was a fun event in the day.  We went to El Rodeo Hotel for a steak dinner; eating fantastic Argentinian steak.  To conclude the day, I worked a little bit longer on my portfolio while CNN played in the background.
