Out of the house

Today was my first real day out of the house. I always for get how pretty it is here. Even in the city you can see the mountains and clouds and it kinda takes my breath away.

Anyways, Papi and I went to one of his banks to get a card for his bank. That way he would not have to send $$ to my bank in the state costing him 30 bucks each time. He says we will go to a different one later and get a card from that bank too. We got back to the house and ate lunch with Carmen(step-sister) and Maritza.

We waited around for some phone calls then drove to San Jose. Some flea market type place. Look at the stuff they had and heard to two guys telling stories. One was about why the "h" is silent in Spanish. I ended up getting a bracelet that I really liked. Then back through the crappy traffic (why I hate San Jose) back to the house. Caroline (step-sis-in-law) came over with her children so Papi and I headed out for food. When we got back Richardo (step-brother) was at the house and we all had fried chicken for dinner

It was nice. I 've gotten used to them again so it's a lot of joking around and funny faces. It looks like they will be going with us to the beach with us. I think we (Maritza, Irena {my other step sister}, Papi and I) are on the 26th and the rest will come on the 28th. They left around ten so Maritza went to bed. But Papi and I stayed up talked about things going on with the family.
