This morning I noticed that the tops of my feet and my abs were quite sore from the bungee jump yesterday. So I won't be doing abs at the gym or wearing real shoes for the rest of the week; it was completely worth it :). I did find my camera today, which is a good thing. There is now photo evidence posted that I did bungee jump.
It was hard to go back to class today, since yesterday felt like a mini weekend. But we are fast approaching the end, and I only actually have 5 classes of advanced left. Too bad those classes are going to be jam-packed with tests, oral presentations, and quizzes.
Tonight our program set up a dance class as a social for us. So I finally learned how to salsa. Well at least a few steps. The dance class was in a mansion that had been converted into a hotel. The area of San José that we were in is one of the most historically rich parts of town. All the buildings and homes are from the time when the coffee barons lived there and you can definitely tell. It felt like stepping back in time for a bit and I wish that I could have been there to see the area when it was new.
After class, everyone was pumped to go find a salsa bar to try out their new moves. So the adventure of Thursday night began. We all split back into taxis to head back to Los Profs, where we would then plan our night. From Los Profs, we went to La Caribeña, which was supposed to be a good place to dance. Too bad it was completely empty, with the exception of two or three older men who were smoking cigars. Back into the taxi we went, this time to El Bare Rio. Unfortunately, it was closed. By this time, all of us that were in my taxi were ready to call it a night, so we directed our dilapidated taxi back to the house. We were not going to roll the dice again. Maybe we will have more luck finding some fun this weekend, since we are going to stay in San José.
