Day 15: A Quiet Day

Today was a very quiet day, and by quiet I don't mean noise, because there is always noise in Costa Rica. Walking down the streets there are car horns, and loud engines, and at home there are planes overhead and people selling stuff from their cars while driving and yelling through megaphones. By quiet I mean, I didn't really do much.
Of course, I had school in the morning, bright and early with my less than favourite teacher. I just feel like we don't get enough practice of what we are learning and are listening to him talking far too much. However, today I got to know the other two in my class a bit better, which is always nice. I found out that the father of Kate (the American) is a pilot and because of that she gets really cheap flights all around the world. I am so jealous.
Once class had finished, I took a quick walk to the central square of Heredia to buy something small for Ernesto because it was his birthday today. I ended up buying him a little wooden keyring, like the one I bought for myself, but with his name on it, and a little ball and cup game.
I got home and we had, rice for lunch, with other things mixed through it, but a lot of rice all the same.
Here's where it got 'quiet'. Not that I mind having an afternoon at home, it is quite nice to really.
I spent the afternoon watching YouTube videos, reading my book, and I nearly even turned on the TV. One thing about these sorts of afternoons is that I don't end up practicing my Spanish much.
In the evening, Ernesto and Naty arrived, back from their little excursion to San Jose for the day.
I gave Ernesto his present, I think he liked it. And after having dinner sat on the couch talking to Naty as she always has something to say, which I enjoy a lot. She has learnt how to speak with me so that I understand and is really helpful.
Tonight was even an early night to bed, not much after 10 and lights were out for me.
Here is my school
