Viva la
Sele!
¡Oeeeee, Oe, Oe,
Oeeee! Ticooooos! Ticooooos!
¡Hoy, todos somos Ticos!
Work was nearly non-existent this morning as Costa Rica took
on fútbol powerhouse, Italy, today in
the World Cup. Hey, even I can band-wagon with the best of them.
What a huge win for Costa Rica! You can see from the pictures
and video what a great celebration it was here in Monteverde. I can only
imagine what the Central Valley looked like…
Anyway, what an amazing experience to have in another
country—especially where soccer is so highly valued and followed. It’s like a segunda religión. It’s awesome. They
celebrated today like I celebrated during UD’s run during the NCAA tournament.
: )
Trying to watch the projection of the TV coverage.
Switching to an area more equipped for the eventual celebration!
On a side note… I went out last night! (There’s a Kenny
Chesney song that’s playing in my mind right now.) Bar Amigos with the girls!
It started at my boss’s house with dinner and wine and then carried over to the
bar. We danced. A lot. I brought my figurative dancing shoes last night. (Where
is Adam when you need him?) : )
I’m happy to report that I didn’t close the establishment
down. Rarely do I do that in States unless I’m at Tim’s with my siblings or
college roommates. In reality, as I’ve aged, I’ve happily settled into that
comfortable point in life where you can leave the bar early, get a good night’s
sleep, and wake up happy in the morning. That’s just what we did last night.
I’ll probably be staying in tonight though. I’ve also
reached that comfortable age where going out once a week and/or month is enough
for me. Jaja.
Anyhoo, it’s off to Rincon
de la vieja national park this weekend with my group.
Heaven help me. I have to do horseback riding.
Pura vida (until I have to get on a horse),
