last blog in costa rica

so im at school right now and its break. I have 2 hours left of school in costa rica. its really fun but im glad to be coming home soon. Today we went to Poas Volcano and it was so pretty. Our guide Umberto told us we were very lucky to see the crater and the water. He has gone up 4 times and has never been able to see it. We got a very good workout too! Tonight we go to a Country Club where we get to swim and ice skate and all that stuff. Should be very fun! Tomorrow is a free day and I dont know what im going to do yet but it should be very exciting. We leave very early sunday morning and then I should be home! I am having a great time down and here and I know I will miss it when I get home. I love everyone and miss u all!

lots to remember

here we go. ok so fourth of july. we headed off to Cafe Britt where i bought lots of stuff. The tour was really fun because it was like a little show with actors and stuff. Lunch was at Cafe Britt and it was very organic food but definitley way better then beans and rice..which im happy to say i havent had in awhile. It was our last day of school with Karla because this week we changed teachers. Our new teacher is Yansy. Shes pretty nice. All day there was talking on the bus about a high school dance that some of the girls were invited to. It sounded really fun so we all decide to go after school. It was definitley a really fun expereince. When we got there no one was dancing, instead they were all sitting on the bleachers. After awhile everyone was dancing and we all had a lot of fun. They played salsa music and thats when mostly everyone went and sat down, but all of us girls learned salsa at school in Monteverde so we found some guys who knew salsa dancing and we danced. It was really fun. We went home pretty early and ya that was my fourth of july!!

Ok so the next day we left pretty early for the beach. We drove and pretty much we all passed out on the bus until we made our first stop at this bridge. We stopped because if u walk across this brgide and look over the side you can almost always see crocodiles. We saw like 18! it was very cool. Some of them were huge. We drove the rest of the way and went over two other bridges that were made like 100 years ago out of just wood. It was creepy, but we made it. Our hotel was beautiful and me and kelsey roomed together. As soon as we got there, we all put on our swimsuits and headed to the pool. Which was very pretty. We went out for dinner way later and tried to suprise bailey with a birthday cake, because it was her birthday. She was not suprised, but she enjoyed it. When we all went home, we layed in bed and watched tv and all passed out. The next morning we all had breakfast and then headed to the beach. It was the most amazing part of the trip. The water was warm enough to swim in and we found crabs, monkeys and lizards. FUN FUN FUN! After the beach we drove all the way back home to Heredia. Kate, Kelsey and I went to the park after we got home and hung out and talked to these really young kids about costa rica and stuff. Then we all went home and I had macaronni and cheese for dinner, with doritos! so yummy.

Today was our tour of San Jose. It was so beautiful and we saw this theatre and all the other cool buildings. They have the painted cows here like we have in the US. Everything was totally cool today. We went to school and met our new teacher and played games and talked. Im started to feel a cold coming on and im kinda like the last one to get it. It sucks but i just need sleep and ya!

Hope everyone is having fun. Only a few more days left! xoxo
