at the same coffee shop as yesterday. yesterday was nice, after getting a ride into town on the motorcycle, noe picked me up with this young tica. and we went back to his house so he could show her his animals and his dojo. i waited and played with the baby bunnies until we left to go see a friend of his up the road. he's been friends with this guy for like 30ish years, and the man had his family over. i ended up talking to his son named adulfo who was relaxing in a hammock with his sleepy 3 year old son. he barely knew english but it was better than my spanish so we talked in english. he told me where he was from and asked where i was in my life. he also told me about places to stay away from and must-sees in costa rica. he was a nice guy. noe, the tica, and i left about an hour or two later and went to this restaurant by a river, that had outdoor seating. i ordered their casado which consisited of rice beans and a piece of pork. it was alright, but for the price (2000 colones= ~4 dollars) it was a steal. i also had a freshly mixed gwanabana fruit drink, sooo good, i am drinking one right now. as i finished i saw that there were a bunch of kids playing soccer by the restaurant in a field with two goals. so i got up and went over to the goalie and told him "quero jugar" i want to play. he started speaking jibberish spanish and it was clear that it was boys versus girls, so i played on the boys team until i scored, then i switched teams until my team scored and i switched teams. a lot of these kids were probably 10-13 years old. it was a lot of fun. if i had the ball i would do summersaults or do really funny tricks like holding the ball in between my feet and then doing a handstand launching the ball to another player. i played for probably 20 minutes and then it was time to go back to the dojo. finished the night with "gladiator" and went to bed.
this morning i did some yoga, ate some fruit and found another farm to go to after the dojo. i am leaving monday from san isidro and going north to Sarchi, which i close to San Jose for about a month (who knows maybe even longer). this farm is a coffee farm and the do mangoes and oranges and bananas. im thinking about hiking up volcan arenal or irazu in that time.
Ry-guy.
