Time flies

Well, my brother is back safe and sound in the good ole U.S.A. This week has definitely gone by quickly. After we did the canopy tour we ended up going to a futbol game. It was great!! The fans down here are slightly crazy, but it made for great entertainment. We were rooting for a team called Saprissa, a professional team here in Costa Rica, and they won! We bought jerseys and tickets for like $16 each, super cheap compared to the U.S.! On Wednesday, Amanda, Frank, and I went to a place called INBio Park. It was pretty cool, kind of half museum and half zoo. We saw spiders, snakes, frogs, caimans, and tons of iguanas! They were everywhere! There was a little pond right in the middle of the park and these iguanas were just chilling out next to it. It was pretty neat. Wednesday night, we went to Amanda's house to hang out. We've decided that her host mom is the coolest out of all of ours. I took my guitar and we all sang songs together in English and Spanish. She made us some amazing hot chocolate as well! It was a great end to a great week. Brittney and I took him to the airport yesterday, and I was sad to see him go. It was really nice to have someone from home visiting me. My parents should be here in 2 weeks so I'm pretty excited to see them, too.

Other than all of that, things are pretty relaxed right now. I have a huge presentation due on Monday, so I guess I'll work on that today or something, lol. I'm such a procrastinator...lol. I played my newest song the other night at Amanda's house and everyone really liked it. I think I like it, too. It has a real bluesy sound to it which is what I've been trying to go for.

So, homework this weekend...beach next weekend? Man, I love living in Costa Rica, lol...nothing's set in stone, and no one stresses out about anything. Everything is just so pura vida...

Paz,
Amelia
