day 16: nothing too special

got back from arenal around 12 and just sort've layed around the house. i was exhausted but couldn't fall asleep so i finished reading my book and headed to town. got some lunch at the panaderia, got on the internet to talk to taylor and what not. went to the insect museum with my costa rican brother, not a big fan of insects but it's fun if you enjoy them putting tarantulas, cockroaches, etc. on your face and all over you.

costa rican drivers are ridiculous, maybe even worse than corpus drivers. from our first day they told us to watch for them because they are "always in a hurry". my question is what are they in a hurry for? everyone here is late for everything, whethers its tours, class, taxis etc. most of the people do not work full-time so you'd figure they'd have more hours in each day but that's not the case here because they go to sleep around 9pm at the latest. also, monteverde doesn't believe in speed zones so motorcycles and cars can travel as fast as they want on these bumpy, mountain roads. and my family told me that the most common cause of death in monteverde was automobile accidents, that's neat. rather boring day, but its my last week here so i gotta make the most of it.
