Onto the next one...

Today is our final day in Heredia. This morning I had to say goodbye to my family, and it was quite sad. I have really grown close to Maria, we have so much fun together and she really is like a mom to me. Our group will stay in Heredia in September because the airport is only 20 minutes away. We both hope that I can quickly stop by and see her one last time before heading back to the states.

I have learned a lot from living with my family. First of all, my spanish has improved a lot. Also Maria has made it very clear that I need to eat fruits and veggies with betacarrotine, because it will make you tan better. Costa Ricans have such a laid back way of life, they don't stress about anything, they pay NO attention to time. For example, there isn't one working clock in my house. It is so easy to relax and enjoy life here.

Yesterday we went bungy jumping..well not me. 4 people from our group did it. I can't believe how high it was. There is no way I would ever do it, but I was proud of everybody else that did.

Today is also our last day at school. Tonight we stay at a hotel in Heredia, and then early tomorrow morning we are leaving for our volunteer project.

Unfortunately you won't see any blog updates for the next 2 weeks. Where we are going there is no internet, or phones. The nearest phone is 2 hours away from where we are going.

Golfo Dulce

Golfo Dulce is where we are headed, and we've heard nothing except good things about it. There is a TON of insects and snakes though, I am not looking forward to that. I am looking forward to interacting and helping the dolphins and the whales.
