I’m glad that I finally left Puerto Viejo. Due to the warm-humid climate I was sick most of the time. And all the mould in the apartments for the employees probably wasn’t healthy either. Plus I was getting tired of fighting for my payment and my rights! However, you can always learn something: At Le Caméléon I learned how a hotel can be managed to death (or rather not managed because most of the time I didn’t know who my manager or my boss was). At Isla Verde in Boquete I learned how to say “Yes.” without meaning it.
My boyfriend is renting a house for us which for Costa Rican standards is just fine. Unfortunately, we are still lacking a few pieces of furniture (like a sofa), but that will change soon. I get to spend lots of time in the sun because it seems a bit harder to find a job here because I don’t have a work visa. But honestly: it’s way too hot here to work! During the day it’s about 35 degrees Celsius in the shade and reading a book in the sun for 5 minutes will make you sweat so much that you look like you just came out of the shower. Thank God there is at least a cool breeze at night.
Other than that I spend my days with trying our recipes. Yes, I cook now although I hate it! Well, one day I’ll have to learn, so I better start now. And I can’t believe it: But I am ironing the shirts which Cristian has to wear for work. I had told him that I would never do that for him because I despise ironing, but seeing him do it in the slowest way ever nearly tortured me to death! Another popular pastime of mine is killing ants, spiders or other kinds of insects which are everywhere. I have also already killed my first scorpion which somehow had found its way into the bathroom. Ever since I always take a good look into my shoes before I put them on. And while we are talking about animals: My backyard regularly gets visits from a 1,5 m long iguana! But anyway: I think we should stick with the idea of getting a puppy as our pet. I prefer furry animals after all.
