Tarzan and Superman!

Me and ari met up with Jacqui and Becky, two canadians we ment in Mastatal in Monteverde! We stayed at an awesome hostel that was ran by the cutest family and they had free breakfast always a plus! So we got there wedsnday night at a perfect time the canadians had just cooked up an awesome dinner of ukah and chick peas and picadillo and tortillas and it was soo good after a day of 8 hours on a bus and three taxi rides. The next day we went zipling which is the funnest thing i have ever done in my life. It also had a rappel and a tarzan swing which was my favorite and the last line was the superman where you were hooked up on your back and flew over 700 meters and were over 1000 meters in the air over the jungle. it was incredible. Later that day was the christmas parade which started out with some awesome dancing and cheerleaders. haha and than some floats. it was by far the slowest parade i had ever seen because there were like bands that would play but they wouldnt march and play. They would stand there and perform and than walk like 100 feet and stop and do it again. this was the whole parade, but it was awesome to see all the little kids dressed up and all the different looking costa rican santas. On friday me and ari went on a tour of the Monteverde cheese factory which was pretty interesting and it explained how the area was actually founded by 11 quaker families that left alabama after refusing to enter the draft. Who would of known. Than we wandered back looking at all the various art gfalleries and shops. If only I had space in my bag and extra money. We spend the last night with our canadians talking about who knows what and they took us out to diunner, which was the sweetest thing. Im gunna miss them, its so awesome the different people you meet. Saturday morning we were on the 630 bus to san jose where once we arrived we went straight to buy our nicaragua tickets which ended up being for monday. So here we are in San Jose.
Being the cheapskates that we are we are trying our hardest not to spend a whole lot of money on food so we had some top ramen we bought in monteverde that we were gunna eat until the canadians offered us dinner. But this place doesnt have a kitchen so thank goodness Ari had bought a cup of noodles so she filled it up in the shower and ate it and than i broke up my regular packaged one and put it in the cup and filled it back up with hot water from the shower. We probably looked a little crazy but it was one of the best top ramens i have ever eaten. We just keep on thinking this will get us a taxi or bus ticket. haha don´t worry we are having tortillas and tuna for lunch. Cant wait!
