Today is St. Patrick's Day. I would have forgotten if Mita hadn't told me in our conversation yesterday. It makes sense that they don't celebrate that holiday here since there probably aren't too many people with Irish blood. For my part, I doubt I will celebrate since I've decided today will be a day of rest. With so much travelling and so many buses in the past month or more, I feel like it will be nice to just stay here in Tia Zahyra's house all day long. Also, another consideration is that I have just 2100 colones now, and I'd like to wait to go to the bank until Wednesday, when Paul gets here. Of course, I'll go to the bank tomorrow, but only to exchange one traveller's cheque for dollars, not colones, to pay the $100 fee to change my flight date and reserve my seat for March 30.
So my errands tomorrow will be bank, then the office of Grupo Taca. Afterwards, I think I'll wander through the mercado of San Jose to look for t-shirts and local artwork. I probably won't buy anything until I'm with Paul, but the trip will be more of a scouting mission to know where to find certain items.
So today I'll just take it easy. I'll finish writing here and I'll do some reading. I'll also review the itinerary which Yorlen helped me with last night. Our two-week tour of Costa Rica should be really fun. To say that I'm really looking forward is an understatement.
Finally, in retrospect, I'm glad I left Nosara a day or two earlier. I'm giving my body a well-needed rest. The skin on my nose and shoulders is peeling a little bit from the excessive, strong sun. And the bruises on my abdomen are healing nicely; they should be all healed in just a couple days. Also, the blisters and cuts on my feet are definitely taking advantage of the rest.
