Sunday Sept 6

Sunday, Sept 6
We left SPS around 10 am on a bus to Santa Rosa, but it seemed a lot longer to Santa Rosa this time. It was so hot in SPS so we were glad that it got cooler as we got closer to Gracias. After our crazy weekend being in SPS we were like “we were so glad we live in Gracias;” we missed it- the tranquility and cooler weather especially. We arrived in Santa Rosa and got crowded into a bus again to Gracias, at least 3 to a seat. There were these crazy clowns on this bus trying to make money by doing their act on the bus and they were SO annoying. Not only was it crowded and they kept trying to move through the aisle. Ugh we were more than happy to get off and away from them. They were creepy too, not just because they were clowns, they were just kinda weird.
The bus ride got better the closer we got to Gracias because people got off and we finally arrived back to Gracias at like 4. We were starving and had to go to the bathroom and we were tired; so we found a place for dinner and just sat…and had food comas afterwards. It was Abigail and Luis (our neighbor kids) birthday party at night so we got presents for them and found some mototaxis to take us back up the mountain. The drivers were really nice guys; you just never know with mototaxi drivers here. Laura Beth and I were in the same mototaxi and practiced our Spanish with him. We went to Sonia’s for the kids’ birthday party and hung out there for a while. Sonia joked with Sarah about Samuel, a guy our age who drives a mototaxi up to Villa Verde a lot and that he likes her and stuff so Sarah was getting really embarrassed; it was hilarious.
