well im getting pretty antsy to leave one way or another again. whether its in CR or its ecuador, life hear is actually quite a bit slower than a turtle and its starting to get to me. yesterday a bunch of us took a day trip into puriscal and then to san jose. it was good to be in the city again, but half the time we were gone (6 hours) was on busses and it didn´t really feel like we did anything. and we had to get up at 5 30 so i was super tired all day. but last night we had an enormous beetle fly into the house-at least 4 inches long and 2 across, with long thick antenna and the biggest pinchers i have ever seen in real life. marcos said they eat through wood. and yeah termites eat through wood, but when i imagine that its little burrowed out tunnels through branches that leave trails of dust behind. when i imagined this thing eating through wood, it was snapping the branch in half and leaving little twigs behind. tonight we are planning on going to try to catch crayfish in the river. apparently the accepted method is to shine flashlights in the water suddenly and then stab them with a makeshift sort of spear. in my past experience with stories of spear fishing, the subjects have not been very successful, but i guess i´ll just have to see how it goes. we had a bonfire the other night in celebration of a birthday. it was a gorgeous clear night with stars and was all in all a very fun and compleeetely wholesome experience. we also had bingo a few nights ago and i won twice, earning myself christmas lights and a frying pan. and i went to my first catholic mass and all in all found it kinda creepy, what with all the wafer eating etc. but who am i to judge.
ill write again soon, gus
