At the end of our course, Jamie, Clem, Natalie and I took a bus to a ferry to another bus on an all day trip to Montezuma.
While there, we hiked to a waterfall we couldn’t photograph b/c the only camera we took on the trek died on the journey. But, as they say, remember this in your head.
At the waterfall we met 3 boys and a girl, the girl so gorgeous that even the straight girls among us only wanted to talk to her.
We drank rum on a rock.
We each drank a $6 cocktail on our last night even though we only had about $30 cash between us and no ATM.
Natalie and Clem tried their hand at modeling in one of our backyard hammocks
On our way back, we met a kid from Seattle who caused us stress with such difficult questions as:
Where are you from? (SA, US, Canada, England, CR, Portugal, or Peru, depending on who you’re asking and what you mean) How long have you been traveling? (4 days? 1 month? 4 years? what do you mean?!) Are you going home now? (again, it’s that “home” thing) Note to readers: don’t ask these questions if you run into a group of traveling TEFL teachers or any other breed of global nomad, it will only cause stress for everyone involved, and make you feel that you are being laughed at.
We met up again with one of the three aforementioned boys, Alex, who lent us cash to complete our trip back to San Jose. After greeting him with a chorus of “where’s the girl, we want the girl,” we warmed up to the boy as well.
By hook or by crook, Natalie and Clem are going to be stars. Modeling didn’t work out so well, so they tried Karaoke on the ferry. As some of you know, they are very good at Karaoke.
On the bus Alex and Natalie spent 2 hours drawing up the family tree of all fruits and vegetables (this is why I love my CR traveling companions).
Once back, the homeless ones (all but one of us) took up shelter in Hostel Natalie and ate avocado quesadillas before we all parted ways the next day.
