... in a dorm. I don&#8217;t plan to stay any longer in San Jose or here and will head hopefully tomorrow to Panama or Puerto Viejo in Costa Rica.<br><br>Never have plans only ideas<br><br>Late on Thursday night I received an email from a guy I had met at Spanish School in Xela, John. He was volunteering in a town on the outskirts of San Jose and offered me a bed in his shared house. I took up the option and found myself on Friday evening at the National ...

... Finally I had to tell her.<br><br>Me: (feeling embarrassed. And speaking hesitant Spanish) It&#8217;s&#8230;like&#8230;umm&#8230;w hen a man and a woman (then I just looked away and resorted to hand gestures. Surprisingly they are international.)<br><br>Her: (nodding with a look of realization) Sexo? <br><br>Me: (with a red face under my brown skin) Si<br><br>Her: (walking away)Fuuug con un &#8220;g&#8221; como gato.

... 4 hour San José flight arriving late in the evening. We were met at the airport by Geodyssey&#8217;s partner company &#8211; Costa Rican Trails and transferred to Hotel Le Bergerac http://www.bergerachotel.com/. By the time we got there the long day&#8217;s travel, made even longer by the fact that Costa Rica is 7 hours behind GMT meant that we were fit only for bed plus we were to be picked up early the next morning.

... were told that we would be getting hour long free massages and tours of the grounds with free entry into all the exhibits. I think they&#8217;re trying to rebuild their tourist following&#8230;we were totally fine with that. We couldn&#8217;t check into our room when we got there so we put our stuff aside and went on the tour of the waterfall gardens. Our tour guide was awesome and we&#8217;re actually going to hang out with him within the next two weeks because he lives ...

... itchy!!!. Anyway, my week was great fun, and went by quickly. This week should too. I only have 4 days of school! On Friday I pick up Mom, Halley, and Valerie at the Airport. Then we are off to see La Estrella for a day, La Fortuna for the volcano and hot springs, then Manuel Antonio for the great beach and National Park! <br><br>Pura Vida! Sorry to hear there is so much snow back in the Mid West, the 80 degree weather is nothing to complain about here!!<br><br>

... was an old guy we gave a ride to on the dirt road on the way up to the tribe. When we were leaving he was walking down again so we gave him a ride. When we got home it was pretty late in the afternoon. I changed into long pants because it gets buggy. Yesterday it was mommy's birthday. We woke up had pancakes for breakfast, opened her cards that we made. I made a pop up card and daddy made a stencil card. After that we went to Playa ...

... at the top of my page currently that asks if i want to "weave photos into my entry", i think this is the button i should press. I think. Ok so update: hmmm, Still can not speak spanish, although i have to admit i do enjoy bringing some humour to the days of the poor locals trying to work out what im saying. and i am getting better. the funny thing is that as i get better at spanish i seem to be getting worse at english! i now structure my ...

... to get him to let us do it almost since we got here. Most of us have nothing against his facial hair, but it's become something of a game for us. He was a good sport. We took turns trimming it first with, then without the attachment, and Anna did the scary part with the actual razor. She grooms dogs for a living, so she was probably the best choice. He couldn't stop laughing as she tried to do his upper lip (apparently it tickled) but she ...
