Orosi & the curious incident of how I shouted; "wrong-eyed Jesus!"

Ok, I robbed Jim White of that title. (folk artist)
So team, we're in a central valley pueblo known as Orosi. This place is a much needed change from San Jose... which was beginning to wear on us (Scott). It's probably 4000 people in this little mountain valley. We are enrolled in language school, and we just completed our second day. We found a great deal, in a great place. It's nice and quiet here and off the traveller's circuit. It is also monsoon(rainy) season here, which helps.
So Annie and I are staying at a hostel called Montania Linda, which we love. The place is empty save for two Dutch girls (who speak perfect English, German, French, Polish, and of course Dutch... and soon Spanish). There's also a Frenchman here named Lorenzo, who is a perfect French version of Lewis Smirl. Seriously, it's creepy. He is ridiculously intense in every mannerism. We love him. He has been travelling in Latin America for over a year.
Our classes are three hours a day, one on one with our own teachers (Margoth y Marjorie). Much of our time in the next three weeks will be studying and practicing Spanish. The school and the hostel are owned by the same family.
On my birthday we paid a driver, along with our friends from Holland, to take us to the top of Volcano Irazu which is the tallest active volcano in Costa Rica. We were suprised to find a crazy green caldera (lake) at the top. It was practically fluorescent. Hopefully we can post some photos soon.
Happy Birthday to Mark and Judy of course...
Thank you all for your comments, keep them coming. Mamas we miss you - Amy you are hilarious, we are so jealous of your time with Amora... punk.
It's time for a run with Lewis substitue, Loro (Lorenzo)... Adios.
