The first weekend following teaching we were BEAT and didn't do too much. We did, however, manage to explore a large park in the middle of the city, complete with trails, ponds and even horses. It was a cab ride away, and not a cheap one, but we were still glad to see some green amidst the city.
This last weekend was a little more active. We went out for drinks and appetizers after work with a coworker and some older students on Friday. It was nice to unwind after a long week. The next day, the same group of us went to see a play downtown! Yup, I experienced my first play in Spanish. Thankfully, Latin American theater is over-the-top, so it was VERY clear what was going on, despite the fact that I didn't understand much of it. It was cute and of course I'm always happy to experience live theater. Yesterday, we found another park in the city and this one was walking distance from our apartment. It was lovely to get out, hike and explore a little jungle in the city.
My weekends have been filled with the perfect amount of rest and exploration! Next weekend we are headed to nearby Jaco to celebrate Cameron's b-day and hopefully reunite with some TEFL friends!
The following is a video of Cameron climbing on a log, with commentary from me, doing an awful Australian accent:
