Crazy Carz

So yesterday I decided to venture out for the first time in the car to a public place by myself...up until now I've only been driving to and from work. I went to the mall and drove through the whole parking lot searching for a spot...and accidentally ended up in the drive through line for McDonalds. Yes, there is a McDonald's outside the mall, and I couldn't tell where the line was for the drive through and where the line was to leave...so after going through the drive thru and trying to explain in Spanish that I didn't want anything that it was an accident, I finally get out of the parking lot...and make it to the parking garage. There were signs everywhere explaining parking rates and where to get a time-stamped ticket, closing time blablabla...but dare I try to read the signs? Hell NO! Because half of Costa Rica was behind me honking their horns like they had somewhere important to be....hello....it's a mall. Drivers here are SO IMPATIENT here. Seventy-five percent don't even follow basic traffic laws...like stop at t red light or stop at a stop sign. Anytime you are stopped at red light (if you are one of the few who stop) motorcycle drivers all weave between the cars to make it up to the front of the line, and then run the red light. Anyway, after running in the mall and getting a chai latte from the only place in the whole country I can find that sells them, and paying some bills, I got back in the car and headed for Wal-mart. (We just got Wal-mart!!) Well that trip wasn't much better. In fact I didn't even make it because I got lost and it started raining and people started that rude horn honking again because I was driving too slow. I turned around and came back home :(  I'll try again another day.
