Week of March 10th
This week my group discovered that Pizza Hut serves wine. Wine at Pizza Hut. Also, apparently Pizza Hut is considered to be a really nice restaurant here. So strange..
On Thursday of this week I taught English again. All of the classes got switched around and now I'm teaching the advanced students. I actually like it better than the beginning classes because the students seem a lot more interested and motivated to learn.
This weekend, I finally made it to the Caribbean. Two of my friends had friends visiting them from the United States so a group of us went to Puerto Viejo for the weekend. This place was so cool. All of the people we met were so nice and chill and the whole little town was just awesome.
My hostel wasn't the nicest place I've ever stayed but its surroundings were gorgeous so it made up for it.
In Puerto Viejo, there are a lot of beaches that are all next to each other down the main road. So we rented bikes for the weekend so that we could beach hop. The beaches were beautiful!!
We also found some really cool restaurants. On Saturday morning (and Sunday morning actually) we went to this place called Bread and Chocolate. We had heard good things about it before but, I mean the name itself just sounds like it would be delicious. (The bread and chocolate at this place were amazing..obviously). We got iced coffee here...something that we had been living without during our entire time in Costa Rica. We had missed it a lot. We also had real cheese!!! There is cheese where I live but there is only one kind and it's just called cheese. Definitely not my favorite thing.
On Saturday night we went to a restaurant that was just a couple feet from the beach and enjoyed some calamari and a glass of wine while watching the sunset. It was a pretty darn perfect evening.
I LOVED Puerto Viejo and I will definitely be back. Even just for some more Bread and Chocolate.
