I don't have a lot of time to write because the office is closing early this Friday. The next week is 'Semana Santa' here which is Easter Week.

I didn't go anywhere last weekend, just around Bagaces. On Friday it was Zanda's birthday, so me and Jessica organized a surprise party for her. After we went to the local disco and were out until almost 4am. The dancing here in Bagaces is very different from Canada. Even though dance music is playing, everyone dances in a sort of aballroom dance style. There was only one short time where everybody started dancing like in a Canadian dance club. It was very interesting watching some of the more skilled dancers.

There was also a 'tope' in Bagaces, which is kind of like a rodeo. They have bullfighting, bullriding and other types of events. There are also some 'sabonero'(Costa Rican Cowboy) competitions where there are skillled horse riding competitions. There was a parade, which I missed, and a lot of fireworks. It was sort of similiar to a local country fair.
