Day 9: Multiplaza

Again, I had school at 8:30 in the morning, and unlike yesterday today I was all by myself with the teacher, pretty much a private lesson. I learnt so much and the pace of the class was a lot faster, but I found it really good to be learning by myself for four hours.
After class I came straight home to have lunch with the family, before chilling out for a few hours just watching some YouTube videos and listening to some music. When Guisella returned from being out somewhere she had a little present for me, it was a little flax woven insect that people make in Costa Rica, it is really cool and now sits on my desk. I don't think I would like the meet the real bug in person though.
A little bit later, I went out with Jorge to fill up the car then go to Walmart to buy a few things, before stopping off to service the car. As we were heading out from the house in the car, Jorge's Dad was walking past with his dog, and we had a quick chat with him. It was the first time I had met him.
Once the car had been serviced, we headed into the centre of Heredia to do some evening wandering. We headed to the main park of Heredia and had a quick look at the church there, and really just enjoyed the atmosphere of little kids being entertained by a clown, youth doing breakdancing in a rotunda and a band of musicians playing with a random guy dancing to the music by himself. Soon after this, while Jorge was taking a phone call, Rebe appeared and stayed with us so she could get a lift home. Something I found really funny was that on one side of the park there is the intersection of Avenue 0 and Street 0, who knew you could have a street before 1st. After buying a little keyring at the small market there, all of us, even Rebe returned to our home.
At home there was Guisella and Ernesto, Rebe's son. After a small dinner, all of us headed to Escazu to the largest mall in Costa Rica, Multiplaza! The whole area around the mall and the mall itself is a stark contrast to other areas of Costa Rica as it is all so modern and flash, with a lot of space and cleanliness, it definitely was a bit of a surprise. The mall is massive, and because we had the ladies with us we spent most of our 2 hours at the mall in a single shop. I really really like the mall :)
Overall a quieter day today, but it was nice to see Rebe and Ernesto again and spend some time with them, Rebe thinks my Spanish has improved a lot already, which, of course is nice to hear.
