Oh what a morning!

Okay so far I have been working at viente cinco and I got that bus route and walk down, but this morning they decided to change it up on me. I was supposed to go to Concepcion this morning to tutor a few kids that are behind and to help them get their notebooks in order. So earlier on this week I met Wes in San Jose and he showed me where the bus was that I needed to take to get to Concepcion but I did not get shown exactly where to get off - he said umm you go like down two hills and then you will get off (like that really helped when there were 500 hills ha). I later was told just tell the bus driver "Por favor, bajame Canaan" and he would know where to drop me off. So I got on the bus told that to the driver and he replied "si" so I thought all was good. Well he took me to the very end of the route. I guess he forgot. (side note- the bus system is like a tire and the spokes so san jose is the main part and each bus goes out and then comes back to san jose) So the driver realized he forgot and put me on the next bus that was going back in to san jose and told that bus driver Canaan. This time he did drop me off at Canaan and I saw a sign for Fundavida, but just because there was a sign for it right there it doesn't mean the building is right there. I started walking down alley ways and stuff and could not find the building for the life of me! I was pretty scared because last night at dinner I told my tico mom and dad where I was going and they just said muy peligroso muy peligroso (very dangerous) and told me to keep my eyes open and stay on guard. So walking around by myself with my blonde hair and looking lost was no bueno! I found the nearest store and stood outside it waiting for the next bus to come by. I got on it and just came back to San Jose. Ooh what an adventure -lets just say I was praying the entire time! Guess I have the day off of work though
