My new favorite store!!!

I am going to work here some day....or they might call the police wondering why this woman will not leave this store!  It is called  "Batteries Plus" and they are amazing!

My Cordless Air Mouse hadn't been used in several years.  So the rechargeable battery had died.  I called the mouse company and the person told me that they do not make the replacement batteries anymore.  I had to either buy a new device or break open the old battery compartment and put in new batteries...words like solder, break apart, and rewire....frightened me of this task and I set out to buy a new device.

After spending an hour trying to figure out which new device I wanted (and spending $60), I soon realized that the store did not sell me what I wanted!  I was so mad, and I decided to use that frustration towards breaking apart the old device's battery pack.

But then I was stuck...where do I get a solder gun and wires?  Luckily, my school maintenance told me of Batteries Plus.  Apparently, our school has old emergency lights that have battery packs so old, we can not order them anymore.  So our maintenance man goes to Batteries Plus and they make the battery packs.  Putting my "this is too good to be true" feelings aside, I headed to the store with my torn apart cordless mouse.

I entered the store and told my 'extremely' long story to one of the workers.  He said he could fix it and it would take 20 minutes.  I asked if I could watch...and decided to take pictures along the way.

The man gluing the new batteries together.

The man melting solder on the battery.

The work bench was right by the front door and there all all these cool toys....tools for them to change and manipulate batteries.  Amazing that they could take batteries, glue them together, add new wires, solder the wires to the batteries and only charged me $14.00 for the batteries!  I can't wait for these batteries to die so I can go back to this store!  Or maybe I'll just stop in to take more pictures....that wouldn't be too creepy, right?

The ten year difference

 10 years ago I was walking in San Jose, Costa Rica and found this man's work to be beautiful and amazing.

10 years later I was in San Jose, Costa Rica on my way to Bingo and passed by this man.  Could not believe it was the same man all those years ago.  Now I wish I had talked with the man, but still happy to see he is still blessing the people with his wonderful skills.

El juego "Pescalo"!.....Go Fish y otras actividades

El juego 'Pescalo!' desde mi clase en Costa Rica.

 Couldn't find the game in Costa Rica....had to make my own.  El bombero mi favorita.   ;)

Los verbos.  Cantar, escribir, jugar, vestir.  Yo tengo mas verbos.

Got my disposable camera developed!!!!!

 I went back to the waterfall in Montezuma on Sunday and decided to jump off the rocks next to the waterfall!!!  I am so glad I had done this.

 Me jumping off the rocks.  Luckily I ended up walking with other people to the waterfall and they took the picture for me.  Wish I would have done this the first time going...but glad I got to go again.

3rd de agosto.....viernes

Me desperté temprano y comí la comida tica, gallo pinto.  Después de la comida, me fui a tomar un foto de estatua.  Yo se como tomar un autobús entonces es muy facil.  Siguiente yo fui a mi escuela porque yo necesitaba transcripciones y mi certificado.  Yo vi a Greg en la escuela y dije adios.  Yo caminé a casa de Doña Aida.  Nosotros hablamos para un hora y entendí muchas.  Pero en mi casa no entendí y entonces hablé poco.  Edwin y Doña Aida entienden cómo hablar a los estudiantes que son principiantes.  Siguiente, yo caminé supermarcado Jumbo por regalos.  Y regresé para almorzar con Ana.  Hice las maletas y tomó una siesta. Estoy lista para regresar Texas.


English


I woke up early and ate a typical Tica breakfast.  Rice and beans with an egg.  After eating I went to take a foto of a statue I pass every time I go into the city.  Now that I know and understand the bus system it is really easy.  Next I went to my school to get my transcripts and certificate.  I saw Greg there and said my goodbyes.  Afterwards I went to Doña Aida's house.  We talked for about an hour.  I felt more confident because I understood what they were saying, they joke with me, and know how to talk to beginning students.  I still do not understand when my family talks with me.  Therefore, I do not talk much in my house.  After Doña Aida's house I went to the supermarket for gifts and returned to my house for lunch with Ana.  I packed and took a nap.  Now I am ready to come back home to Texas.

The statue I pass by every time I go into the city.

Lunch.

2nd de Augosto....Jueves

Yo traté levantarme temprano pero levantaba a las ocho y media.  Yo comí y fui al mall de San Pedro.  All cine es muy barato y hay que una tienda tiene el juego "Pecalo".  La pelicula Batman estuvo bien y la tienda no tiene mi juego.  Que lastima.  Regresé a mi casa para un hora.  Siguiente fui a la ciudad porque hay que unas películas gratis, en la noche, y fuera.  Me encanta comi cuando yo fuera y estuve viendo una película.  Esta película estaba triste pero las personas fuieron al Limon y me encanta la playa Caribe.  Quiero comprar la pelicula pero no se vende.  Que lastima.  Ellos dijieron la pelicula es en el internet.  Después de yo regresé a mi casa.


English


I tried to wake up early but slept in until 8:30 AM.  I ate, worked on Spanish, and then it was time to go to the mall of San Pedro.  The movies are really cheap and there was a store that my teacher said sold the game "Go Fish".  The movie was entertaining and the store did not have the game I wanted.  I have a great time trying to use my Spanish when I want something.  I came home and had about an hour before it was time for me to leave for downtown.  Taking the bus costs in between 30 cents and 50 cents...depending on the bus.  So, I really do not mind taking public transportation.  The city was still having the free movies and I am so glad that I went.  This movie was more appropriate than the last one and the people traveled to Limon....the Caribbean.  I LOVE the Caribbean beaches.  After it was over I asked if I could buy that movie.  They said it was on the internet, hopefully, when I get back to the states I will be able to watch it again.

A beautiful sunset on my way to the city.

Movie outside.

These were so yummy!!!!  (The ones in front)  Fresh bread with boston creme filling!

The bus stop to get on the bus...a little scary.
