So I havent posted in awhile, I apologize. Life got a little crazy, and then a boy named Michael came along (yes, I know youll be reading this eventually). So I will give a basic summary on what has happened, and the adventures that we had.
First of all, we woke up extremely early again to head to Manuel Antonio and to see some sun since it had been not so sun shiny in San Jose, and per Michaels orders for a beach, we went! When we got there, everything was normal, the same sun, beach, people, the same guy that always hits on you and wants to give you a massage... Normal. It was looking a little grey before we went for lunch (and we rented a surf board!) and then it started raining off and on and then pretty steadily for the rest of the day. I was a little disappointed, but it was still fun and I can now say that I tried to surf, even though my twiggy arms didnt let me go too far.
There was also a plan to go bungee jumping on Monday since I had no school thanks to a national Costa Rican hero day, but when I tried to call the place 10 times in the morning I finally found out that the bridge was closed for some reason for another 2 weeks! Thanks for letting me know 4 days ago when I had e-mailed them! It was probably by far one of the biggest disappointments, but we actually spent the entire day Monday exploring. It was pretty fantastic. Hiked the jungle... I was in sandals, we had no machete and stepped in a whole valley of toranchulas.... twice. Walked through a ton of burrs and were continually picking them off eachother. But the view was priceless. What an adventure.
We also got the opportunity to take Bill Greens' bike up to this really beautiful look out over the city. It was a little late in the day so it was a bit cloudy. The drive up was gorgeous, motos are definitely the way to travel. The whole time I had this giddy feeling that kept bubbling in my throat. It just reminds me of summer and absolutely awesome times. I cant wait for it!
Allllso, we went to a concert last night which was a complete success! All in all, good good week. One more day of class and then next weeks Semana Santa and its beach time! and probably the last time I will see the sun for awhile me thinks. Then April is almost over and then I only have 5 weeks here. Yikes. I have mixed feelings about that, but all in Gods timing! Everything in Gods timing.
