Davis Blankenship South American Adventure : Costa Rica- Day Two

I woke up in my hotel a little later than I expected to- I must have been pretty tired the previous day. I ate a quick breakfast of some delicious sausages and had another banana or two. I thought again of how sweet those bananas were and how I wish they were in the break room in the National Geographic offices everyday instead of the under ripened ones. When I excited my hotel, I was greeted by a very large Roman-Catholic church. I had seen these churches all around but never gone into one. I walked into the sanctuary, and it was very large, even bigger than the one in Jamaica. There were also stained glass windows with many scenes from the bible that were elaborately painted in bright primary colors. I remember thinking to myself the night before and wanting to go in, but being too tired. When I had seen everything in the church, I walked outside. The weather was very pleasant that day, unlike the cold and very snowy winters of Washington D.C. I felt in my bag for the bottles of water I had put in from the little mini fridge in my hotel room, and took a swig of one of them. When I put back the water in my bag, I spotted a ticket to the famous Teatro Nacional, which is the National Theater in Costa Rica, where many locals go to here the symphony play and to see other events. I was glad I didn’t forget about that ticket because that was one of the things I was looking forward to the most. When I walked inside, it was one of the most elaborate entrances to a building ever. There were very ornate white and black marble floors, chandeliers hanging all over, and very fancy statues made out of marble busts everywhere I walked. There were huge silk and cloth drapes draped over doors and windows with patterns made of golden thread that completed the whole scene. I realized I had gotten there too early, so I decided to go shower at my hotel and put on some nicer clothes to wear to this very fancy event. When I arrived back at the theater, I walked into the main stage room and it was packed. There were people everywhere. As I sat down in my seat, I looked up and there was a massive chandelier on the top, and a mural with the sky and clouds painted on top. When the concert was done, and it was fantastic, I returned to my hotel to get some sleep in preparation for the next day’s adventures.
