San Jose Day 2

So i had my orientation today, which was somewhat helpful. I met with Ernesto who is the in-country coordinater for OTEC the company that GeoVisoins uses for finding host families and organizing volunteer positions. It was basically an overview of what I should expect from my host family and for my bus travels tommorow. It was orginally schedualed for 10:30 but being in Costa Rica, I only had to wait for 45 min. He gave me some useful information about packages (don´t send them, they rarely if ever actually arrive in Costa Rica/where they are supposed to go). He also told me that I shouldn´t get a cell phone, but instead I should buy an international calling card and use phones either at the police station or at my host family´s house. So phone contact will be one way, but you can still talk to me over the internet so Im not too concerned about staying in touch. Ernesto was supposed to bring me money that we payed to GeoVisions for my bus ticket tommorow, but his boss who writes the checks was in a meeting and he seemed pretty scared to interupt her. So the plan was for me to find his office later and pick the money up there. So around 2:30 I set off on my grand exploration of San Jose in search of Ernesto and his office. The streets here aren´t too confusing, but they are all one way so 2nd st. (the main road) for example goes on direction when you first come to it and then the opposite direction on the next block, meaning that for each line on the map there are actually two differant roads. This coupled with the fact that there are no street names beside on the map made finding the office a little confusing, plus the guy at the Hostel desk told me ¨when you see lots of pigeons in a square go right, and its just up the street¨, so I did just that and ended up in a big park with lots of homeless people. I turned around and decided that maybe I needed to find the 2nd place with lots of pigeons and then turn right, which ended up being correct. Eventually I fround Ernesto and got the money for my bus ticket. The weather here is extremely mild temperature wise, but it is so humid that if you get up from a chair you start sweating, so after my walk I was thouroughly drenched in sweat, but I think im going to have to get used to that feeling. So when I got back to the hostel I decided to go for a swim to cool off, not realizing I was sweating because of the humidity, not the temperature, long story short now im wearing a sweatshirt hoping that typing will stave off hypothermia. I am waiting for an email from Ernesto with my travel details for tommorow, but I should leave San Jose around 11:30 and take the 3.5 hr bus trip up to La Fortuna. Ciudad Quesada, or San Carlos is actually the name of the larger area I´ll be staying in and La Fortuna is the name of the town/neighborhood? I think. Well now its time to heat my arroz con pollo I bought at the am/pm and see what movie is playing tonight. Last night was a jeane claude van damme movie so im hoping tonights will be just as terrible. Hasta luego.
