On my way home from the gym, I popped into the shop to buy some milk and other essentials and spotted three young girls in front of me chattering away and buying supplies for Friday night. Their supplies were not chocolate, chips and dip as one may expect, but in fact they were buying fresh mozzerella, tomatoes and fresh basil with a french baguette. Interesting. Then I spotted that one had car keys in her hand. Ok, so not fifteen as first thought. Do you ever get that feeling of “I wish I could look and dress like that” succinctly followed by “How old am I now?” ? Then they walked out giggling and got into a shiny new silver Toyota Corolla. Nice.

Number three? I then drove from a dry place into a place where the floor was wet and it was raining into another dry place. Not that weird yet? This was over a distance of about fifty metres. The micro-climates in Costa Rica never fail to amaze me. I guess it’s how the country is so green and diverse. (I snapped the above pic when in the rainforest on a rainy day).

A strange drive home from the gym was then topped off by hearing that one a friend’s girlfriend broke up with him. Via email. After 9months together. Ouch. Quite sad really as I helped them get together.

Hoping to go out tonight to watch the boys in a poker tournament at a local hotel. Sounds fun!
