San Carlos; My Birthday

Well this post is now a whole month late.

For some reason me and Rachel were taken to a business seminar in San Carlos. It was a good time, and free.

Tuesday at 5am, Coffee and redbull at burger king. Cause I Guess thats how I roll. We get in a 15 passenger van for the 4 hour trip to San Carlos ITCR. About 2 hours into the trip I’m ready for some sleep, so I sleep in the aisle of the van, on the floor. At a little after 9 we make it to campus, grab some breakfast, and walk to the dorm rooms, nicer then any I’ve ever seen at SDSU. We go to some seminars in the morning after a short nap, its my birthday so we head to Fortuna. In the shadow of an active volcano me and two of my class mates celebrate my birthday.

There are no reasonable bars in Fortuna so we drink vodka tonics out of plastic cups and finish 3 bottle of smirnoff in that many hours. We take the bus back, i nap, we go to a bar after dinner. I drink more. Around 11 when we can tell the day is coming to an end we stumble back to the dorms, i field some phone calls and break a florescent light earning the title crazy gringo.

Day two, we feed crocodiles, go to some hotsprings, attend more lectures, see lava and a lake and get ready to leave in the morning.

Thursday we leave early, and wish we could remember my birthday but oh well I have at least 10 more up my sleeve.
