This weekend we decided to stay in town. So, on Friday night we met up with these two guys that we know from Escuela de Ganaderia. We were down right gitty...cause we finally had friends! I know that sound lame but for three social people it is very difficult to be in a place where about 80% of the people around you have no idea what you are saying. It is hard to find someone patient enough to actually attempt to listen to what we have to say considering that most stuff comes out like "the food watches good" instead of "looks good." So we were excited to have finally conned some poor "non-english speaking" saps into agreeing to hang out with us. Their names are Leo and Freyman. Leo is not quite as outgoing as Freyman, but he in nice and patient with us which can be really comforting. Freyman is hysterical. He is like the kid brother who you always forget is younger and who seems to always be a part of a situation where you thought something sounded like a really good idea, when in reality it was a really bad idea, but you are glad you did it anyways no matter how much trouble you got into. He doesn't necessarily encourage bad behavior but he seems some how to inspire it. We were very excited to have Freyman with us because technically he should not have been there. There is no way that Freyman's girlfriend Natalie would have ever let him go, but she was out of town so...game on. We meet in the center of town and end up waiting for some taxi driver friend of Leo's to take us to some bar in Barrio San Jose.

This town doesn't really have bars. They are more like restaurants but what ever, they serve alcohol so what do I really care. And most times when you are out drinking you want food anyways, so no worries. Hanging out with Leo and Freyman is so much fun. As the bottles on the table began to accumulate we (like all drunk adults) turn back into 3rd graders on the playground who have just learned new bad words and can´t wait to share them with you friends. Now this game is more fun when we teach them bad words in English, because there is less of a chance that we are going to offend someone in the Spanish speaking crowd. I don't know what it is, but a non English speaker trying to pronounce "Carpet Muncher" (which actually sounds like "Car-put Moon-char") will just never get un-funny to me. Not to mention, I think it was my high point of the night when it even occurred to me to attempt to teach them that word not to mention that I had to explain to them what exactly that meant in Spanish. (And if there is anyone out there who does not know what that means, I am sorry but I am not explaining it. It was embarrassing enough to explain it in Spanish). And you have to be very selective about what words you choose to teach someone because the will ultimately ask you to explain. Certain bad words are quite difficult to explain...attempt to explain douche bag to someone and then you will know what I am talking about.

So we now have had our first successful drunken night out with Tico friends. Now, we had gone out several time before in Atenas, but this is a sleepy little town and we had not really interacted with anyone (well, while we were out drinking) who wasn't forgettable yet.

Thank god for taxi drivers cause even if we had a car...which none of us did...we were in NO condition to drive. I remember the ride home in the taxi being really entertaining for some reason but then again I was drunk, so pretty much everything was more exciting to me; but whatever, that is just the kind of drunk I am.
