Pretty boring weekend the highlight was of course was La Feria. In Costa Rica every town has a farmers market on either Saturday or Sunday. The fruits and vegetable here are usually cheaper and supposedly fresher than the produce in the stores. The picture above is what you can get for about 18 dollars at the fair. After going there for the last two weekends we have recently been adding green peppers, onions and tomatoes to everything we make.
La Feria around 9 o'clock packed as usual. To give you some idea as to how cheap the market is here is a list of some prices I remember; 15 eggs $2, a huge bunch of bananas 50 cents, 3 avocados $1, head of lettuce 50 cents, pineapple $1, small watemelon $1, 2 cucumbers 75 cents, 2 onions 50 cents.
I found out on Saturday that I have a new class that meets 4 times a week. So now I have 8 classes, 7 different levels, 6 different books, and two different schools. I am surprised I can keep track of their names let alone all of their paperwork. I ended finishing my lesson plans up to Wednesday but I have already forgot what I am teaching to my first class tomorrow morning. I really need to get better organized, I wish I had OCD and had a certain place for every little thing. However it is the exact opposite.
P.S.
I bought Its always Sunny in Philadelphia season one this week off of itunes and highly recommend renting the season. I think they also just started their 3rd season on FX.

Hey Kevin and Allie -
I can't wait to see you down there - I'll pay my rent in meals if you'll let me. I can promise you some good vegetarian eating from that market - it looks amazing.
