Up Yours Zapote
Last night we got home from Isla Tortuga at around 10. Not too late. Cory, Megan, Miles and I grabbed a taxi home ´cause we were super tired after getting up at 4:30 and being in the sun all day. Kat, Dana and Jordan decided just to walk because it wasn´t as far for them. Bad idea. They got robbed at gunpoint on their way home. Los ladrones took everything they had on them, which was worth more than $1000. Nice. Nothing like being robbed at gunpoint after a beautiful day at the beach. I don´t think that I´ll ever be walking home after dark again. The crazy thing was that they did it right on the side of the road as people were driving by! They didn´t care who saw them, they knew that no one was going to do anything. I hate this city. At least the countryside makes up for it. I don´t know how cities as ugly as Zapote, San Pedro and San Jose ended up in a country that is so perfect otherwise. If anyone mentions this to my mom or any of my family they´re going to die. They´d freak out. Carrie, DO NOT tell your mom!!! Cabs are crazy kinds of cheap so I´ll just take those more often now.
Note to anyone that´s coming down to visit me: PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE let me know what your plans are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I´m in charge of making arrangements for the things you want to do (or so I assume) but I have to know ASAP! If you´re trying to figure out how much money you´ll have to bring estimate about $10 a day for food and drinks and probably about $20 a night for hotels (price will naturally decrease with an increase in the amount of people coming), and then the cost of whatever excursions you want to do. They usually run about $50 but include meals. Some of them include hotel rooms but they run about $75. Stuff is so cheap down here it´s not even funny, you could probably get by on $10 a day total if you really tried hard. It depends on how much stuff you want to do. Just please please please please please let me know!!!!! Okay, enough of that, time to go.

I wouldn't go down with Dave if you paid me...OK, maybe then I would...but still...someone has to go to our classes...I will however make it down...as soon as I can make and save enough to do so...Most likely it will be that week we talked about...School sucks Roo!!! Wish you were here though...It's not as much fun sitting at Lee and Dave's doing nothing when you're not there...plus I need someone else to beat Lee in cribbage with me :) Cause you're pretty much the best cribbage player ever!
