(6/2/12) We had to say goodbye to our host families in Monteverde this morning. I did not want to say goodbye, especially since this means that my trip is coming to a close. We got to explore downtown San Jose today. It was not much different than  downtown Wilmington in my opinion. Originally we were supposed to visit a museum and the national theater downtown but the majority of the group voted to opt out of that part and shop instead. Luckily I was still able to see the theater with two other girls and our amazing tour guide Javier. I loved seeing the theater, everything inside was original, I think Javier said they had only replaced a few windows since it had been built. When we were done looking at the theater we walked to a small market area and did a little more shopping for our families. Thankfully I had already purchased everything I needed so I could just look around and observe everything.

            While I’m typing this I am also sitting in my hotel room at La Condesa where we originally started this trip only three short weeks ago, slowly packing my bag for the flight home tomorrow. I am not looking forward to tomorrow in any way, shape, or form. I’m really hoping something will be wrong with our plane and we’ll have to reschedule our flight for sometime next week.
