.... By Jack London. Just finished it,I read it cover to cover today... and I think im going to move to the Yukon...
Just kidding. That would be terrible, but that book made me have itchy feet for exploring and this natural born intent of adventure. I need to explore something pretty soon here, but maybe the itchy feet syndrome will be worked off tomorrow as I haul sand out of our play area at the school to make way for grass! I have been super restless lately...
But this is my last weekend in good 'ol CR and I think im in the resignation stage of acceptance. I am just taking advantage and cherishing every possible moment that I have left here. Like, sitting and having a cup of coffee with Bill Green and have him explain to me why feminism is ruining the world and men alike or knowing that any moment of the day when I was feeling lonely, I could hop over to the Greens and be guarenteed to have a conversation. Or how we can sit in the kitchen making pancakes and bacon and talking about theology or something crazy. Or how I get to see my little girls all dress up in their frilly pink dresses and show me how they can twirl in circles and be princesses one second and then running and being upside down on the monkey bars, underwear and all. Or how the thunder sounds in the distance, and listen as the rain slowly, or not so slowly begin to pound the tin roofs. Or how the church bells ring at 12pm and 6pm everyday and Kristen and I always sing along.
There is so much that I am going to miss about this country. And to be honest, most of it is really small minute details that stick out in my mind like none other. I feel like I have been cut off, this trip seems too short... But I should be getting home. Going home seems just as weird and ridiculous as it did in my mind before I got here... In which case I am going to pack as much of Costa Rica as my bags will allow.
