My Next Adventure

I am writing this not only to update my two readers on my upcoming journey but to test out this new Linux laptop. I am indifferent to it at the moment. It is heavy and bulky and I really wish I had something smaller to travel with. ANYWAY, I am going to be studying abroad in Costa Rica for 89 days. hopefully, they'll let me through customs with my departure date so close to the expiration of the 90-day tourist visa. well, we will find out I guess. The last time I went through customs was in Peru and I had taken an orange with me on the plane for a snack, I was however motion sick and did not eat the orange. there as also no trash can in which I could dispose of said orange on the way to the customs line. when I reached the guy who was stamping my passport I showed the orange and he was like whatever the next guy will take it from you. then I went to the person standing next to the baggage claim and was like, 
"Hey, I know I can't take this into the country, who do I give it to?" and he responded,
"YOU CAN'T BRING THAT INTO THE COUNTRY GIVE IT TO THOSE GUYS!" and I politely replied thank you and went in the direction he was pointing. A lady there saw my orange and said, "YOU CAN'T BRING THAT INTO THE COUNTRY GIVE IT TO ME!" and I was like, 
"YES PLEASE THANKYOU- I KNOW- I AM TRYING TO GET RID OF IT" except the caps, in this case, are my wide-anxiety filled eyes and not me yelling, just talking in a frantic voice and long story short that's how I got a receipt from the Peruvian government for an Orange that they confiscated from me at the border. At least I didn't get felt up like on my way out of Frankfurt, Germany. Whee.
