Wednesday:
Spanish Level: After school tonight I didn’t go home. Next week is my last week here and I wanted an evening out to be a tourist… so I took a night off from Spanish.

Kelly from school and I went to the beach and shopping and to a restaurant called Mono Azul for dinner. Mono Azul is noted to have a good restaurant and a lot of monkey around 5pm. Kelly and I went there about 4 and it was absolutely great! The restaurant had a lot of looking wood and tile, an open air place with a lot of trees around so it was shady and you could see the ocean from the restaurant. When we got there and sat down Kelly spotted a sloth in a tree. He was moving so slow, it was amazing to sit and watch one awake and moving around. Another person working there told us there was another larger one in a tree behind us, so we watched him a while too. Then the waiter said the monkeys were coming (he heard them) and soon a whole team of titi monkeys were surrounding the restaurant in the trees, and many of them came into the restaurant looking for food. I mean they came right next to our table, we were just about the only people in there for most of the evening. It was great!

We left Mono Azul about 6:30 but we didnt want to go home yet so we stoped by Gran Escape and had a beer. There was a girl at the bar we met named Monica, she is here in a class with about 40 other students getting a certificate to teach English in foreign countries. With that she can go almost anywhere and teach English as a second language. The name of her school is TEFL. She is a very interesting person, a young black woman who went to Spellman college in Atlanta. She had a lot of ideas and a lot of energy. She was a lot of fun to talk to.
