I added a few touches to the room, like Puffs, a clock and Hershey's kisses just to make it feel like homeMy trip to and from the bus stop is about 6 blocks and on the way I pass 2 gardenia bushes. Some things are wonderful no matter where you find them. Other things are more work. This school is very difficult and I get very frustrated so I am telling myself that it will be worth it and I have to remember how much Spanish I know now that I did not know a week ago.
Guess what? One of the things I wanted to see in CR is one of the volcanos and they obliged by having one erupt yesterday. We have scheduled a trip to Arenal and Monteverde this weekend and that is where the lava is flowing. Of course, you can't get that close but we are staying at a place that has the best view according to the rep from the school who booked the trip.
I would love a Coke Zero right about now. My tico family drinks koolade for everything so you see my problem. When I go out with mi amigos I get beer or "Coke Light" which isn't the same but okay. We really take our life for granted.

I think I finally figured out how to do this! It sounds like you are experiencing such amazing things...I'm envious! Graduation went well. They had 900 grads in and out in 1-1/2 hours.
ReplyDeleteI think because I've only heard about peoples trip to the resort areas of CR, I would have expected it to be cleaner. I loved the pic of the sloth. I would imagine the wildlife there is quite different.
Can't wait to see pics from the volcano and the Pacific side.
Love ya!
I was also surprised that it was not clean here.
ReplyDeleteI have loved reading each of your entries and seeing all of the pics. So glad you decided to start this blog so we can all follow your journey in CR. Sounds like you have already had so many memorable experiences, and there are plenty awaiting you!
ReplyDeleteI am homesick and hope the experiences will help keep me here School life is hard, very busy and we plan to travel each weekend so that will make the time pass quickly whether I want it to or not.
ReplyDeleteWhat an experience, Victoria! How much longer?
