Wow I have a lot to catch up on. First of all i have been procrastinating on soooo many levels with this blog. There has been a lot of stuff going on every night, and my new spanish class has a ton of homework that has been forcing me to study hundreds of vocab words every week. So not last weekend, but the weekend BEFORE we went to this town called Tamarindo. (yeah its been a while.) Tamarindo was amazing! It was my favorite spot so far. The waves here were perfect for beginner surfing so we took a surfing class and it was so much fun. Unfortunately we didn't get any pics because we were all in the water. But i promise it happened. Here are the some highlights of the trip...(we hardly left the beach) ++++SPANISH!! Finally..
Boogy Board! My favorite thing when the water is warm :)
This was just one if the Iguanas roaming around outside of our hotel
There were these adorable puppies just roaming around the beach. I wanted to take one home..

PANAMA!!!
Our next weekend trip was to Panama, which was planned Thursday and we left Friday. That Monday I started to come down with a cold and by Friday it was full blown. I was super miserable but i didn't want to miss my one chance to go to Panama. The bus ride was 5 hours to the border then one more hour to Bocas del Toro. The already miserable bus ride was worse with plugged up ears going over the mountain. I thought i was going to have to find a hospital by the time i got to the islands. Instead i took some decongestant and went to bed early. In order to save money we decided to stay in a hostel, with a bar attached. That first night they stopped playing their music at 3:30 which is when i finally drifted off. This was of only two bad parts of Panama. The other was the bugs..they have these tiny mosquito things that are called "noseeums" because you cant see them at all. They reminded me of blood sucking fruit flies that are totally resistant to any kind of bug spray. Needless to say we all got eaten alive. Other than that the trip was amazing! After snorkeling and dolphin watching, we pretty much just relaxed and explored the islands. Our hostel was on one small island and EVERYTHING else was on the other one so we had to take a taxi boat back and forth, which was actually kinda cool. The other day we went to this tiny beach and played in the crystal clear water :) Its really a rough life here..
The beginning of the loooooong ride to Panama. (The toilet paper is for my nose)
Our hostel, complete with a diving board and swings
Jellyfish = not so great for snorkeling.
Two Dolphins just chillin by our boat
Alisha's leg..today..a week after we got back from Panama.
After Panama we are not having another excursion for a while. This weekend we just explored San José and tried to figure out the public bus. I will try to keep you updated but i'm afraid its going to get really boring after this..My mom and sister are coming in 15 days so that might be the next interesting thing that happens here. Otherwise you guys are going to be hearing a lot about my daily life :) Thank you so much for reading this and being patient. Have a wonderful Halloween!
Quería ser la mejor hablante de español antes de escribir por todos. Obviamente, yo no soy. Al principio tenía miedo pero ahora estoy más cómodo con mi español. Mi clase nueva de español se llama, conversación intermedio, es perfecta para mi. Aprendimos como hablar más fluido y por eso, yo tengo muchísimo tarea de vocabulario. No hay gramática en este clase, vamos a practicar sólo la gramática que ya sabemos. También solamente hay cinco chicas en la clase y yo no tengo nada miedo. Me encanta el programa de español aquí y mi maestra, espero que yo hable español con soltura pronto.
