Week of Small Adventures at 'Home'

Playing monopoly with the boys of the family, my brothers from the left- Franz hijo, Johan, and Werner and not pictured is their uncle, mamatica's brother. I grew up an only child always wanting siblings and now I have four! Plus four other students that I live with...that makes nine kids, two dogs, and two parents with family members and neighbors coming in and out all the time. 

Mayita kept me company on the road trip I took with my hermana-tica, Diana on our way to the beach! We went with the two dogs and her boyfriend, Sebastien. On the way to the beach, we stopped at a bridge that offers BUNGEE JUMPING!! But that was just for Sebas, neither Diana nor I nor the dogs went bungee jumping. But just FYI, even if you are in a wheelchair, you can go bungee jumping. I saw where they tied the entire wheelchair person sitting in it and everything wrapped up in bungees.

Ready to jump?!

We met up with a couple of Sebas's friends who also wanted to go bungee jumping.

Sometimes we have nothing to do at night...so when there was a party going on next door and the cops were called by the other neighbor, we had heard that apparently it was a drug bust...so two cop cars came and parked outside our house, so we came outside to sit and watch, and eat ice cream! As if it were a movie...haha....and turns out...the neighbors were just sitting on the roof to look at the stars! 

I'm not going to go into details, but I had a malaria scare a couple weeks ago. I was worried I had malaria or dengue fever, but it turned out it wasn't that serious. I had to go to the hospital, get a shot in the butt, pee in a cup, and get my blood drawn, but it was just a bad infection in the kidneys. It did keep me completely in bed for a week and not eating anything. So I lost about 5 pounds and Maya kept me company on the last few days when I was feeling better. Here we are watching Glee on my laptop.

When I slept, she slept. She's a good buddy to have when sick, although a little needy. Always wanting a belly rub. I didn't get one of those...I was the sick one...thanks a lot Maya.

When I was sick, I sure caught up on all TV shows and other things electronic. (Definitely not in the "to-do-in-Costa-Rica plans", which made me feel increasingly guilty)  but I watched every episode up to date of Modern Family and Glee and also, although I never played a single computer game on facebook, I created a WeTopia (as seen on Ellen...it gives to charities just by playing, check it out!), a castle in Castleville, a city in Cityville, a SimsSocial, and a Pioneer Trail.
