So my long vacation week is now over and it's back to my weekly schedule of school and music. That's basically the extent of my days Monday through Thursday, lol. I do a whole lot of nothing most of the time. I think I'm going to go into shock when I get back to the States and have to do actual homework, lol. Nevertheless, the daily wear and tear of Costa Rica is starting to get to me. My parents came to visit me over the past weekend, I loved seeing them, and it made me realize just how great my parents are, lol. I've definitely missed them and will continue to miss them over the next 3 months. I think I did a pretty good job of playing tour guide for them. There were a few logistical problems because of the holiday weekend, the whole country of Costa Rica shuts down on Good Friday, but we still were able to enjoy ourselves. They stayed in a hotel with beautiful gardens so we spent lots of time there. All weekend long there were processions showing the life and death of Jesus and we got to see one of them on Friday morning. It was very moving and beautiful. On Saturday I took them on a canopy tour which they loved! The canopy tour is always a hit, lol. We also toured a coffee plantation at some point during their visit which was pretty cool. We learned all about the process of growing, roasting, and selling coffee. The coffee was pretty good, too! I think my mom bought enough to last her for the rest of the year, lol.
All in all, I think my parents' visit went well and they got a little taste of Costa Rica and the town I've been living in for the past 2 months. 2 months?!! Can you believe that I've been living in Costa Rica for 2 months?! Some days it just kind of hits me and I'm just like, "Are you crazy?!" lol. I'm enjoying myself, but I definitely have days where it would be great to be in the the U.S.
So...plan for the week: go to school and play some guitar, lol. Plan for this weekend: Have a super awesome slumber party with some of my girlfriends here. We're going to order a pizza from Pizza Hut and watch movies all night. It's going to be great! I'm looking forward to it!!
I hope everything is going well in the U.S. Leave me some comments and let me know how all of you guys are doing!!
Paz,
Amelia

Glad to hear you and your folks had a good time. I hope you took lots of pictures.
We spent Easter weekend on the sunny beaches of Miami...except it wasn't sunny, so we didn't stay long at the beach. It sounds like you guys had much better luck with the weather.
