Today, after going to the feria like we always do, I realized how bored I've been come with the exact routine we do every week here in Costa Rica. Monday through Friday we go to school all morning and work on homework and errands in the afternoons. Friday we always meet up with our Tico friend, Eduardo. Saturday morning we always go to the feria, then pricemart, then automercado and are so worn out by the end of it we just clean up the fresh fruits and veggies and relax. Sunday morning is church, then we have lunch, then usually a movie or something and possibly some homework. Sunday night we watch Amazing Race and Iron Chef then go to bed. It's become so routine and so common that it is downright boring. I had a minor meltdown and got really upset until finally Aminadab called and invited us over for lunch.
Amina is a friend of ours that also lives here along with his wife and daughter. He's mexican but is from Texas. They're here because of his wife's job. They're great people and make some killer food! :) We had a good time over there and talked about some of the things we miss from the states, how hard it is living away from friends and family, and a constant feeling of not belonging. It was a well needed break from the boredom and monotonous life we sometimes lead here in Costa.
Last night were were trying to find ABC's new show "V" on but I guess we missed the premiere. Sad. Hopefully they'll reshow it sometime soon!
