Hey everyone,
Sorry I didn't get to get on the internet yesterday, but you'll get to hear about it all now! First of all - Happy birthday to my Dad!! Sorry I'm a day late telling you. So yesterday during the day was typical - class. We watched our first movie in the film class called Central Station and it was about a kid whose mom gets killed by a bus and this lady takes him in to try to help him find his father even though she doesn't want to. She's really mean, but on their journey she changes and becomes kind and he finds his older brothers to live with. But the bigger story to talk about is our night on the town last night. So after class we all got ready and got the cabs in order to go into Santa Elena to go to Bar Amigos. Bar Amigos was more like a small club type atmosphere - big dance floor, loud music, dj, etc... Surprisingly they played all American music except for one hour which was mostly Hispanic music. Well our group went, a few teachers went, some of the resident naturalists went (the RNs are interns mostly just graduated or in grad school working here on campus), and some kids from another group who is here went. So we walk in with about 30 people and just completely take over this place. Needless to say, we were the entertainment for the locals. Everyone immediately started pounding tequila shots then hit the dance floor. I had a few shots, but for most of the night I drank the popular beer here, Imperial. We had the BEST time. Everyone danced together and was buying drinks for each other and getting along. However, toward the end of the night around 1 we as a group definitely started getting out of hand and belligerent - few people threw up. But we all made it very safely back home to campus and slept a solid 4 hours until we had to get up for breakfast at 7! We had to go on a hike at 8. Obviously we were a cranky bunch, but we've discovered that the best cure for a hang over is hiking in the clouds! The hike was nature focused, and we saw lots of bird and the flora of the Cloud Forest. Once we got back, everyone ate a quick lunch and we allll took naps. I just woke up lol. A few people have gone into town to watch the soccer or futbol game and the rest of us are just chilling on campus. I'm going to try to be on skype tonight and tomorrow night. My skype name is sarahwagnon. Tonight we're hoping to watch a movie and just relax :).
