Me Fui al Monte (de la Cruz)

Mood: Tranquil
Music: Journey - Don't Stop Believin'

Apparently, Wednesday is everybody-be-boring-and-do-homework day. But, if you know me, you know I don't like homework, so I jumped on a bus and had an adventure. I went an hour outside of town to Monte de la Cruz, in San Rafael de Heredia. It's just a bunch of little picnic spots and trails that crisscross a mountain, with an overlook over the whole Central Valley. Since I was the only one, there's not a lot to say, just take a look at the pictures.

On the way home, I was feeling a little homesick, so I gave in and ate fast food. I went to Taco Bell... Don't judge. Anyway, it turns out Taco Bell is different in Costa Rica, so it was still a cultural experience. I ordered the chicken quesadilla combo, which was more or less the same as at home- quesadilla, ground beef hard taco, and pepsi... Except that it came with fries. Fries? At Taco Bell? WTF? The quesadilla was weird. It had ranch dressing in it instead of quesadilla sauce, and, wait for it... REAL CHICKEN!!!?!?!!!11!!one!!! I wasn't really sure what to make of it. But the taco and the pepsi were normal, at least. And they played Journey on the stereo, so it still kind of felt like home.

And now, Mami is trying to make me eat again. Oh lord.

Pura Vida,
Sarah
