So my one goal was to figure out how to get to this biosphere place. Of course no one could tell me where to get the bus. I went to the tourist information place & of course it was shuttered. Asked a young security guy at the building next door and he was like "she left already."

Basically I needed to find the collectivo (unofficial) bus stop and either no one knew or no one could communicate it to me.

I'm determined to figure this out. Just walking all throughout the city And what do I see: Escuela de Ingles.

So I'm like, if anyone can tell me...

So I knock on the door and this lady comes out and I'm like "hablas Ingles" and she says "a little." Well, that was a lie. She was the receptionist. But she did her best to try to explain to me in Spanish. But it wasn't landing.

Finally, she was like the professor will be here in a few minutes. So I just sat and wait. And this middle-aged guy with a ponytail comes and he speaks amazing English and tells me exactly where to go (outside some weird Chinese themed restaurant) to grab the bus. My hero.

He also told me how much he and his son liked American football. We had a long conversation. Super, super nice guy. And saved my ass.

So anyway, I'm on the $.90 bus now that passes by the preserve 🙏
