Thursday so far

Got up, went to la escuela to work, said hello to the school cat I dubbed "Mr.", listened to Whitney Houston, painted poster board  worked on the computer  left at noon, came home, made lunch- gallo pinto with carne de soya and some slices from the biggest avocado imaginable, looked up recipes for vegan empenadas for dinner, went down to beach to read and tan, swam in the waves instead (I read in my journal from earlier this year in Central America that, "one of my favorite feelings is coming up after a wave has just passed overhead...and looking into the mist that sounds like champagne or showers of sprite bubbles" this is still the same)..the water today felt as cool as the flip side of your pillow does on your cheek in the middle of the night, it started to rain, came home, ...

our Three's Company household went to find coffee (Boston included), landed at Barrio cafe- decided on a cold coca cola (the kind in the glass bottle that tastes best here because in Central America they use real sugar in their coco cola), went to the la planta tienda, got a baby chili pepper plant to add to the mini garden I am starting, the guys spent what seemed like an hour picking out the perfect sized house plant, went to the market and picked up ingredients we needed for empenadas, came home again, went to the gym, sweat my a** off, started a new James Patterson book while on the elliptical machine, came home once more,...
 showered (and gave Boston a bath), watched an amazing sunset, started typing this blog, pulling up the recipe for banana and black bean empenadas which I'm attempting for dinner, can't get this song out of my head thanks to Zach (http://youtu.be/8Tw6uckztIM), Oktoberfest night 1 begins tonight at the Black Whale bar, fireworks just began somewhere in town- they make Boston go crazy, whew, its sunset now, this is my Thursday so far.

PS: Vegan Black bean and Banana empenadas came out amazing...will make again :)
