I feel like I smell like Doritos (like the original nacho cheese flavor…not even the cool ranch flavor) So it is a combination of things:

So I bathe, but the water is cold and my washcloth NEVER dries. My washcloth is sort of like an old dish rag. I bet it smells like sour old people and I am just so use to it that I don't even kno...

Today was a fun day, I finally met everyone. The last of the EAP kids came on a flight this morning at 5:30, and the rest of the staff showed up as well. So we did a nice introduction meeting where we got to meet each other, and then we got our itineraries and learned about what we'll be doing here for the whole trip. These next two weeks, I'll ...

Tooth Update- On monday I went to another dentist who was recommended by my mother and my school. We were there for about an hour in which the dentist very painfully removed the infected tooth. Since the tooth already had a root canal, he couldn't just pull the tooth out, he had to wiggle it for 8 minutes (I timed it) Even though I was on pain k...

I forgot to mention a great moment for me yesterday. Emma and Hannah were playing with some of the little guys during a break and i had some of the older kids read me stories from a Spanish children's Bible we have with us. They read quite well. They also like to speak a little English with us. They all say they learned it at school. Actually is...

Among the mammals monkeys are particularly abundant. One of the most interesting species is the fish bulldog bat (Noctilio leporinus), one of the biggest in the country which feeds main...

Arriving in San José was the culmination of a lot of things for me. Just over a year ago I started planning this trip. I still don't know why I knew Costa Rica was where I needed to go, but as the plane taxied into the San José airport, it quickly dawned on me that there was no turning back. I had tried so hard to mentally prepare myself for thi...

oh yes - the title is true - i got robbed :-( on monday morning, i i decided to move hostels - was feeling very claustrophobic in Tranquilo and so I thought i'd check out costa rica backpackers which i'd heard was great - and had a pool and garden and open space which Tranquilo was definitely lacking. so packed up and caught a taxi outside the h...
