Up at 4:30 this morning to finish last minute packing and pick up the house. William arrived at 5:20 and we were off to the airport. We're now at the gate waiting for our 8:30 flight to San Jose, Costa Rica.
Yesterday we made a trip to the bank to pay our rent. I have talked about how we can pay our electric, cable and water bill at any bank, but for rent, we must go to the bank where our landlord has an account. We stopped at a Banco Agricola near the church (first time at this location.) There's always, always, always a line of people. First thing is to get a ticket (think license bureau) and then wait for your number to be called. Yesterday when she called our number she said: "ciento noventa y tres cajera ocho" and we knew it was us! A few months ago we were in trouble if our number was bigger than 20 and now we're okay up to 193!! That's proof that our Spanish is improving, right?
You never know what you're going to see on the road here. We were driving somewhere the other day and in the lane beside us a truck was pushing a car. We're not talking about them trying to push the broken down car out of the road, but more like they were driving down the road together and going at least 40-50 mph. Can you imagine this on Hiway 50?
Time to board so I've gotta run. Watch for more later this week.
