Costa Rica
Hey all
Im in costa rica now and met up with annie and she brought all of my things, except I am still having this damned problem with the bird sounds CD. I'll probably never get it to work on a CD player, since I tried on a CD player with MP3 format, and it still didn't work. oh well
I got here and annie wasnt at the hotel, so i went to the chee chee restaurant in this chee chee riche neighborhood where the OTS kids are staying, and there was this other gringa byherself, and she asks me to sit with her, and we get talking, and she is in the OTS course, and worked at COcha Cashu and knew AMy Porter (refresher, in 2000, I was supposed to work with Francis Bossouyt who was killed by a caiman, and Amy Porter had been working with him for months when that happened)
Anyhow, I hung out with her and Annie and another OTS guy Varun last night and today and it was fun, and I got some necessary shopping done. I picked up quite a few books at this awesome bookstore in San Jose, and got some warmer clothes.
Im so happy to see annie and hang out with some other people for a bit. I love my field site, but I do get a litle lonely sometimes.
Annie is the best, she brought all this stuff for me. You should all be friends with Annie. And she is fun
Best part, was coming down here on TIcaBus, they play movies, and they played a preview for the movie Lethal Ninja, ahich was the story of a blond female american sciecntist, who discovers a plot by an evil old british man in i kid you not a white suite, panama hat, and a monocle to take over the unamed african country where she works. And then she is captured by ninjas. Yes, ninjas sent by a bristish man in africa. But they didnt count on her husband, a martial arts expert form the us, who travels to find her. One scene was in the middle of a roller rink lit by eerie disco lighting and fog and our hero is being circled by 15 ninjas. on roller skates. ninjas on rollerskates. and then little blades pop out of their skates. You can imagine how disappointed i was when it was Agent Cody Banks that was played instead of Lethal Ninja. If anyone can find it, I would love for you to send me a copy.
I head back to Managua tomorrow, and am stressed because the status of the poles Salvadora is supposed to lend me is still unknown. So I might not have poles. Cant run nets without poles. geez.
Thats all for now

Melissa I miss you already. I started to freak out this morning when I couldn't find my water bottle. You know how I get when I lose something. I came downstairs to check email and there was my water bottle on the desk. You are my hero Melissa! Thank you. I had a wonderful time hanging out with you. Hopefully I will see you soon.
