Costa Rica in a Snapshot
... a bit of an energy boost after a few months of travelling, Kristen felt this was a perfect place for a second wind. We ended up spending about 4 weeks in Costa Rica and went to a few major parts of it, which I will outline the highlights.

It made it look like a GIANT monster size bug like 3 times as big as ME! I tried to take a picture but it moved. ...
Look at all the greenness!
... to my schedule that are necessary. With this schedule I will have 18 credits, however if it seems to be too much for me to handle, I will drop the Ecology class, since it won't count toward my major or core requirements at CofI.
