mommy can i buy a puppy

day two in costa rica well 3 if u count the entire day spent at an airport sitting outside on the street. haven done much so far. the weather sucks its raining all the time or almost raining, its like being in the uk. worst thing about this country is that you can not i mean you are not allowed and no 1 does... put ur toilet paper in the toilet. u hav to put in in a bin. so u end up having a bin fill of over flowing stinky poo toilet paper. yesterday we slept in and then went down town. took a walk around, it reminds me a lot of korea with funky smells and people selling stuff on the street, the only difference is i can read the spanish signs as they are similar to english.. wait some words are even similar to afrikaans. gratis means free!! same as afrikaans yet said wihtout the deep clearing of the phelm in ur throat. we have learnt some interesting lessons like slush puppies come with condense milk and a wipped cream like stuff in them. so not yummy. so far i have managed to only get stuff without meat and we made a vegetable pasta last night for dinner. we walked around down town which is very seedy and gritty with people selling lotto scratch cards and all sorts of crap. went to the town square and fed the pigeons. its like durban beach front back in the day, very mangy looking pigeons some with hair feet and others with no toes at all just scabby stumps. went and chilled in what is apparently a park but looks more like a traffic circle. then walked down to the dodygiest area of down town to by a bus ticket to habana (a beach town) the people there were very scummy. the one man or women i couldnt tell its hair was one big giant dreadlock. we saw one dead rat but lots of puppies!! there is a pet shop and they were so cute. proper purebred schnauzers puppies so little and cute. then two sad looking runny eyed older poodles and a cute little mini chichuaua puppy. however they were 200 usa dollars each. its really really expensive here esp for food. eatting at an american restaurant is the thing to do and its like us going out to a 5 star place. people dress up and go for fancy dinners there. hence a large hawiaan pizza at a pizza hut costs wait for it....... 20 dollars!! that is like 140 rand!! chris has been up all night with a dodgy tummy so we not going to habana today im not sure what will do,.xx
