Just like Riding a Bicicleta

Last night I rode home side saddle in a skirt on the cross bar of my bike while Coco peddled.  A little scary but totally normal here.  Kids, babies, girl friends, boy friends, bikes here are for two people not one.  If you are small enough you ride on the rack, in the basket or the handle bars. 

Last week I rode my bike  with an umbrella open above me.  First time of many I'm sure.  Mountain biking with one hand on a rocky, bumpy, pot hole filled road in the rain at night with no light was interesting.  No helmets, no lights, and no signalling.  Pura Vida baby.  Which for some people doesn't mean "pure life" it means whatever, just live life and do what ever you want as if there are no consequences.

Last week I also stopped wearing my bra with certain tank tops.  I've lost enough weight that my boobs are small so the built in bra works just fine.  My clothes don't fit.  Thankfully most of my clothes are skirts and tank tops, pretty forgiving.

Today we finally got a new fridge.  Been without a working fridge since we've moved in to the house.  Yay cold beer!  and grocery store here I come.

Tonight was my first night co- teaching the adult night class.  As it turned out I had one beginner student so that worked out well.  We practiced basic questions and giving directions and following directions.  The student is 25 and works for the dentist in town.  She's also his girlfriend.  She has 4 cats and one dog.   The dentist has a vasectomy!  Yippee!  One smart man so far in all of Costa Rica! hahaha

Pura vida!
