A Day of Rebellion

On Monday, DeAnna, Beth and I had a day of rebellion. We started off early by skipping our traditional breakfast with our host families and went to get bagels at the ONLY bagel shop we've seen in the entire country of Costa Rica. (It makes you grately appreciate the finer things of living in America when you go without them for a while - bagels, doughnuts, steak, mashed potatoes, turkey sandwiches, hamburgers without ham or cucumbers, etc.). The cream cheese wasn't quite what it's like at Einstein's or any deli in NYC, but this breakfast was still enough to give us our fix.

 

  

After breakfast, we spent the rest of the morning/early afternoon shopping! You know how much I like to shop and luckily DaAnna loves shoes as much as I do. We both came away with 2 pairs of shoes! I also got a nice gift for my mom and another book to read (I've already been through 6 and needed more). 

  

Needless to say...we shopped so long that we missed going to our projects that day. Oops! (like I said...we were being rebellious). After coming back to Maximo Nevell and playing around on facebook for a bit, we did something even more rebellious...I got this:

Here I am signing my life away:

And here is the tattoo artist who tagged us:

After getting tagged, we decided we needed to celebrate by going to mine and DeAnna's favortie dessert place (called The Dessert Factory). We walked over there to get this:

But sadly they were closed. We decided to walk across the street and get our usual ice cream fix:

While a McFlurry isn't quite the same as a brownie sundae with delicious ice cream, strawberries and caramel, it was still delicious! (ps - we went back last night for the brownie sundae, so we did get our amazing dessert - just a day late)

I quite enjoyed this day of rebellion and the much needed shopping spree!
