Happy friendship and Valentine's Day! I was actually surprised that they celebrate this commercial holiday in Costa Rica, but alas, I couldn't get away from it. A slight difference, though, is that here, it seems to be focused more on love in general, not romantic love, which is a vast improvement in my opinion. It's not nearly as commercial down here from what I can tell, and the people genuinely love each other. Everyone here, for the most part, is pretty peaceful, very "make love not war." I like it.
In other news, I've been fighting a sickness from hell, lol. For some reason they don't believe in Mucinex and Benadryl here, or I can't figure out what they're called in Spanish, probably the latter. I finally got some meds from the infirmary here on campus, though, so I've been steadily improving. I think I'll probably just take it easy this weekend, no beach for me. We are going to see el Volcán Poas on Sunday, though. I'm pretty excited!
Weather's still great, and I'm still getting wonderful exercise. I think I'll be used to all this walking by the time I come back to the states, and won't want to drive anymore, lol. I basically eat whatever I want, and then just burn it all off! It's a pretty great system. I now have a slight tan as well since I got toasted on the beach last weekend.
Hope all is well! Thank you for the continued comments and support! It makes my day to see that people are reading my completely random thoughts!
Pura vida,
Amelia
