Mystic museum adventures

I woke up to banging from Ella (my neighbor) she came to my door and I said I was up. Jorge and I got out of bed about 30 minutes later, and made our way to breakfast. I ate pineapple, very great pineapple, juicy, luscious, fresh pineapple. Soon after I took my malaria pill. We got on the bus and went to the school in La Carpio. Today was hot and sweaty, we finally started building the wall, these cement blocks are over 100lbs. Furthermore we have the pleasure of lifting them over ten feet in the air with out the use of machinery. It was quite the workout, and Jorge felt very manly doing it. He shows me his muscles a lot, they aren't very big. Don't tell him I said that. We got on the bus and ate hamburgesas on our way to the children's museum. We got to hang out with the kids from the kindergarden in La Carpio for 3 hours in the museum This is not as fun as it sounds. The museum is a horrible place filled with shinny distracting lights and giant red buttons. You have to click every button out of sheer wonder. When we were trying to escape, Brad and I got lost, a mechanical man (a model of the first Costa Rican astronaut), began speaking to us, I was frightened, I ran. I pushed buttons on my way out, of course. Finally on the bus ride home, I gave Brad a head massage. We hanged out until dinner, and then we had some lasagna, and peanut butter sandwiches (odd native food??). Well right after dinner I began to write this so I don't know what will happen the rest of the night. Maybe Shrek (in Spanish), maybe the usual guy conference, maybe sneaking around with my clown mask on (I secretly bought this today at the museo). Tomorrow we leave early to make our way to Tortuguero. Good night.
