Well, I just got back from a nice relaxing trip to the Jacó beach. I went with about 10 other Americans, so plenty of speaking English this weekend, lol. We stayed a nice little place about 1/4 mile from the beach. Pretty much everyone got burned on the first day even after applying sunscreen liberally, lol, so I spent most of Saturday at the pool in the shade. There were a lot of surfers out on Saturday afternoon, though, so I went walking on the beach to see the action. A couple of the Americans had some boards so we watched them try to tackle the waves. Not bad, not bad...lol. Saturday night was extremely fun! Since we went dancing on Friday night, we decided to just chill on the beach on Saturday. There were 4 of us just sitting and talking and a guy walks us and asks us where we're from and if he and his friends can come chill with us. Turns out they were from Norway! Never in a million years would I have thought I would be sitting on a beach in Costa Rica, and have a really great conversation with Norwegians! They were just on vacation and had travelled from Peru the day before. They told us they battled 10 killer monkeys and 4 pumas in the jungle there, which quickly turned into a very big joke, lol. Very cool, I can now say that I have friends in Norway!
It's back to the daily grind of school and homework now with a trip to the volcano Poas this weekend. I'm pretty stoked about it because I can't remember seeing a volcano up close and personal, lol. I think we're going on a canopy tour through the rainforest as well, and I've heard that's supposed to be awesome!
Things are going well. I miss pickles and chicken fried steak, but love the blackberry juice here called Mora. Hope everyone is well in the states!
Pura vida,
Amelia
