Last Saturday marked 3 months of being in Costa Rica. I can't believe that time has gone by that quickly!! I've made so many amazing friends and memories here, it's hard to think about leaving! We all had a great time this weekend when we went to the country! It was actually an organized trip with our exchange group and about 7 of the girls out of the group came. We stayed at this gorgeous little hostel right next to a little river where we could go wading. We didn't wade for long, though, because I think we saw like 3 snakes within a 5 hour period, lol, not poisonous, but they don't make for the best company in the water. The food was pretty good, homemade cheese and tortillas! The first day we went to a tiny coffee plantation and had some really fresh coffee. The second day we went to a little dairy farm where we learned how they made the cheese. It was neat but I don't think we were that impressed, lol. 4 of us were from Tennessee, 1 from Nebraska, 1 from North Carolina, and 1 from Illinois that goes to school in North Carolina...we know what cows look like, lol, and a farm is a farm anywhere. It cracks me up how everyone down here thinks that all of the people from the United States come from big cities. It baffles them that the majority of people in the U.S. actually live in rural areas where they have....cows and farms, lol. Oh the silly Costa Ricans...gotta love 'em!
The rest of my week will be pretty easy. I only have 2 more classes because Thursday is the Costa Rican version of Labor Day, so no classes. I was going to go traveling this weekend, but I think we decided to just stay here and relax, maybe catch some movies or something. The next weekend I'll be going to Montezuma, my most favorite place in the world!! I'm trying to make the best of the time I have left here. Part of me is ready to come home and the other part just wants to keep traveling so I can see everything! I've already made plans for all the breaks I have during the school year next year, lol. Now I just have to find a job so I can support all those plans...lol.
Hope all is well for everyone! Good luck to all of those that have finals in the next couple of weeks and hope you have a great start to the summer!
Pura vida,
Amelia
