"Ya Sunafabeech"

Yesterday we had a day of down time in San Jose, so we walked around the city's largest park (similar to Golden Gate Park). At one point we were talking about how in both visits by Colleen, she hadn't had a single bad interaction with any Costa Ricans (with the exception of being whistled at by every third male in the vicinity) and neither had I. Then, cruising through the park, this guy runs after us saying "hey wait, hey wait" in pretty good english. We stopped and he immediately demanded "monies" from us with a palm out and a wild look in his eyes. We said no and kept walking. Soooo he decided to follow us for a short time yelling "Ju SAN oofa BITCH!" but in a much more hilarious accent than I can portray just by typing (woulda been perfect for a video blog). As we kept walking, we marveled at how educated even the crazy guys in the park are. He spoke fairly good english and knew how to curse us in a very appropriate way under the circumstances. I guess its not nearly as bad as some travel experiences I've heard of, but it was still pretty random.
Off to Monte Verde!
