Relatively quiet weekend, didn't leave town. I did though go to a local all-day DJ festival in Santo Domingo, a neighborhood just south of Heredia. Four of us went, and though I believe it started ridiculously early-10am, who takes in techno at that hour?, we arrived around one. What we found were two "stages", one in small stage setup, very normal, however the other DJ had been placed on the kids playground in the treehouse, it had a slide. I thought it was perfect. Anyway, not much of a crowd, as gringas we always seem to show up too early, however what people were there was pretty much as hippy/hipster as I've seen in Costa Rica, lots of dreads and alternatively styled clothing. I had a lovely time, people watching, dancing for hours and just taking in the music, some of which was good, some of which was not. The last act we saw was wonderful, one guy was playing a sitar while the DJ mixed in his own beats.
That was Saturday, Sunday was a food orgy of freshly made guacamole, fresh bread, and rice pudding, as wells as a little tanning while reading terribly wonderful chick-lit. These are the costa rican days I love the most. :)
Monday though had its highlight when my sensei handed me a nunchuck to "try-out", he had me doing a few little practice flips and I felt myself on my way to becoming a real samurai. A very positive and uplifting moment for a Monday :)
