Reloj

Rained out. Yet one more day where the rain just didn’t stop until noon or so and we had to call off our day in the field. The result of this was some time for Tinny to practice on the bike (still!) and me to catch some giggles with South Park. Couldn’t manage to go back to sleep, although Amanda & Debra sure did.

After a nice long, relaxing lunch I decided to join Amanda and Debra on a trip to town to get their hair did. Transportation couldn’t have been better. Walked out to the highway and hopped into a big minivan taxi that was just leaving the bus stop. Filled ‘er up with seven people so it only cost 200 colones each. The trip back was only another 215 on the bus, score.

I walked down to the Colono (Tico Home Depot) to see if my boots were in as promised. Of course, they weren’t and I have a new promise (I think) for Monday afternoon. From there, made a stop at the ATM where there wasn’t a line (first time ever) and got some dough. Stopped in a little watch store and bought a $12 digital watch because I was fed up with pulling my Swatch out of my pocket every time.

Hung around the hair place for a little bit as the girls finished up their $2 haircut. Got pressured into getting a little trim myself, but resisted. From the stylist we walked up to the supermarket for Chops to buy paper towels. Grabbed an Eskimo Churchill, this time with strawberry ice cream and hopped the bus to La Selva.

A semi-successful trip and another pre-planned for Monday or Tuesday. Messed around with my data and tried learning some statistics through the afternoon and evening. Hit the hay around 10:00am and started dreaming of good weather. Talk to you tomorrow. Just tipped the scale at 30,000 words.
