left the farm today. i was a little sad to leave Angel, Niko, Wayne and the new wwoofer who is really cool>> Elliot. Frank... not so much. the other night Angel, Wayne, Elliot and I went into Sarchi to go to the fair and celebrate Wayne and mines last night in Sarchi. Our plans were focused around 9 o'clock>>>> the bulls! They had set up this huge arena made from scrap metal for the main event, the bulls and the horses. We walked around and talked to a lot of drunk Ticos who attempted to speak english with us. it was funny. we sat down had a few beers with freshly squeezed lime from the farm. it was then 7 o'clock, and we decided to check out the arena and see if we could catch a glimpse of some bulls behind. there lots of horses but no bulls, i walked up to the ticket taker to ask how much it cost to enter the arena, and before i could say anything he just let all of us in. the arena had a nice grassy field with a horse with its owner. we climbed over the wooden railing and got down into the pit to walk over to the horse. surprisingly nobody stopped us. the cowboy smiled and gave us the ok to pet the horse. it was a very nice and calm horse. after many pictures, the cowboy asked if we wanted to see the bulls. yeah. we climbed over the wooden guard rail into a small holding space under the announcers stage, and there were the bulls tucked away. wayne was at eye level with them and the bulls started to snort and horn each other. our plan was to run from these guys tonight, but it was way too expensive. 3,000 colones. none of us had that much, we thought it was only going to be 1,000. it was cool to see the bulls and the arena before it heated up around 9 though. we ended up not seeing it and walked all the way back to the finca. the next day (today) we made a great last breakfast>>> french toast with a banana-oat-cinnamon-honey topping and also had oatmeal with bananas. now i am in Alajuela, which is pretty close to Sarchi, i will be here for a week or until i get my new debit card from mommy and daddy, i lost it somewhere :/
anyways. it's good to be away from Frank at the finca, but it's a bummer that i am not going to see Angel, Niko and Elliot. I think Wayne and I will meet up in Montazuma on the Nicoya Peninsula some time. or.. anywhere, i don't really know.
