Had to work today after my horrific night last night, when I’d never been so scared in my life. I spent hours in the bathroom shower, thinking a gunman had gone crazy next door, which is right out my window. About 40 shots in 12 minutes. It’s also crazy that this would happen here. I’m in a very safe neighborhood, and my condo neighbors are the best.
No one but me seemed to care. I heard no sirens, no talking, nothing but these gunshots. Well, it was not a gun, but a cannon let off in front of my house to mark the start of the Iron Man competition. Had I been able to read a Tico newspaper, I would’ve known. I’m getting better at this type of dialect, but I can’t read.
I thought of a great way for me to practice and understand. Watch Nickelodeon. They speak slowly, but enduring this is painful. I can understand when they talk slowly, but they don’t in reality, only on TV.
Here’s some pics I took at work today. It was so hot, but a highlight was when I met some great folks from Reno. That’s a first. I was wearing my Sierra Gym shirt from my favorite gym in south shore. They were tired of the weather, too and came to CR, visited the rescue center. It was great.
I’ve never seen the Capuchins take a rest like this when there’s food to be had from the visitors. It was hot.
This is where I’m going Tuesday and Wednesday on my days off this week. I can’t wait to see it for real. This is Tenorio Volcano National Park. I’m staying at a mountain lodge. It’s going to be cooler for sure. Can’t wait for a break in this heat. I’ll take real snaps when I see it for myself.
I got home from work today and found her in the usual spot. It’s like she’s waiting for me. I gave her some pineapple today, but she preferred the apple I gave her later. I got peed on again at work in the Capuchin cage at meal time. I was hot, sticky, and took a dip in my pool as soon as I got home. Next thing I know this iguana, it’s big, is under my chaise lounge and took a hello little bite at my finger. Scared me, scared her, but she didn’t run off. I think she was saying hello, not trying to bite me. I feed the iguanas at work, so I felt good feeding this one, too. It’s like we have this connection, well maybe not, but she isn’t afraid of me approaching her. Anyway, it was funny and peculiar at the same time.
Out of the snow and into the heat
