Hello to everyone! Hope everything is going well in the U.S. Things are still swell here! I had a pretty relaxing weekend just chilling with some of my buddies here. We saw a movie on Friday night, No Country for Old Men or Sin Lugar para los Debiles en espanol. It was pretty good, won a lot of Oscars so we thought we'd give it a try. It reminded us of home a little bit because all of the characters had very southern accents. Best line of the whole movie said with a southern accent, "Well, I guess I've seen 'bout everythin'. I work at Wal-Mart." We were the only people in the entire theater laughing, lol. I guess some things just don't translate, lol.
On Saturday, we all decided to dye our hair! I ended up dying mine black which isn't hugely different because my hair is almost black anyway. I had some red highlights back in the States that looked really cool, but when I got down here, they changed to orange from the sun so my head looked like Halloween, lol. So, I thought it was time to fix that, lol. We all had a great time with it, though. My friend Brittney did all of ours for us because she had done it before, and she did a great job, lol.
Sunday night, my friends Amanda and Renee' came over so we could work on a project about the Tango. Needless to say, we were up very late because we had procrastinated all weekend...but, around 12 in the morning it was finally finished and we gave it yesterday morning so I'm pretty much done stressing for a while about school work. We have 2 more days of classes and then we're free!!! We get a whole week off for Semana Santa here, or the Holy Week before Easter. The whole country basically just shuts down to celebrate, lol.
This weekend, Brittney, Renee' and I are going to celebrate by going to the beach! Yay! We're so excited to have a little vacation. On Friday we're going to take a little airplane to a place called Tambor on the Nicoya Peninsula. It takes about 40 min by air as opposed to 6 hours by bus so we're excited to not be taking the bus, lol. We're going to spend Friday snorkeling at a little Island called Tortuga(turtle). From the pictures it looks gorgeous, so we're pumped! After that we're going to spend the night at la playa(beach) Montezuma and then the next 2 nights we're going to spend at la playa Mal Pais. It should be a very relaxing 4 days or so. I'm sure I will have plenty to blog about!! On Wednesday my parents are coming to visit so I'm really excited about that as well!! I love having visitors! :-)
Thanks for reading! :-)
Pura vida,
Amelia

Amelia,
Got the postcard. Sounds like you're having a great time.
We were thinking about coming to CR in a couple of weeks, but the flights are filling up, so we'll probably find a beach in the States.
Take lots of pictures of your folks and post them for us.
