Yes I said Cows. Joe and I were able to go downtown
San Jose today with our Tico mom. We had a great time looking at the sites and admiring the painted COWS! Apparently this year
San Jose, Costa Rica decided to try something new in the downtown! They had a Cow Parade. Different painters came in with plain ceramic cows and painted each one to their liking. Unfortunately I couldn’t get pictures of all of them but here are some that I got…
We had such a great time with our Tico mom and her son. We spoke in Spanish and laughed hysterically at my blunders…. for example we stopped at Burger King for lunch and Joe asked what I wanted in Spanish. Well seeing that there were no salads on the menu… really, I decided that I would go with just one cheese burger and a bottle of water. Well, speaking to Joe back in Spanish because my Tico mom was standing there it went a little something like this: Yo quiero un quesohamburguesa y un bosque de agua. Which literally mean I want a cheeseburger and a forest of water. Yeah you read it right… FOREST of water. So I should have said un botella de agua, which mean a BOTTLE of water. My Tico mom lost it when I said forest and I was SOOOO thankful that I messed up with Joe before I went to order! But the hilarious thing is when I ordered the bottle of water and the lady behind the cash register gave it to me the company that bottled the water was called Rain Forest. So I looked at my Tico mom and said see, I got my forest of water. She lost it again….

That is just hilarious. I haven't heard from you in a couple of days and wondered how school went???
Has Joe's mom seen these pictures...she'd have love to been there!
Those cows were in Mexico City first! WWW.cowparade.com tells all about them. Too cool I thought that I recognized some from when we went to see them.
