San Jose trip tomorrow

Tomorrow Carlos and I, along with lots of other researchers in La Selva, are traveling to San Jose for the 45th anniversary of OTS (the Organization for Tropical Studies). The party includes a dinner at the restaurant Tin Jo (a really delicious pan-Asian restaurant) followed by a reception on the University of Costa Rica campus. I am excited to see my advisor there (along with a couple of other professors from my department).

While everyone heads back to the station after the party, Carlos and I are planning to stay for 2 nights in the city. We have to renew our permits and run a few more errands while we are there. On the list of things we plan on doing are:

- Visit the Mall San Pedro to play skee-ball and video games in the arcade and to watch a movie (although I have no idea as to what's playing)
- Haircut for Carlos
- Have a nice dinner at Lubnan (Mediterranean food)
- Go to the fancy grocery store for luxury food items (i.e. pretzels!)
- Relax and watch some TV at the hotel

This is a little "mini-vacation" for us (since we never take breaks/weekends from work) so it should be nice to just be away from the station for a couple of days.
