Christmas is coming soon!!






Just thought I would give a little update, on how things are going here in Costa Rica.

This trimester is winding down, we are ending our classes and getting ready for the new students to arrive.. My classes went really well this trimester and i have learned a lot of Spanish.. I think that i have learned enough to understand what is going on.. and to answer "Si" to every question that i am being asked.... But I am still having a hard time answering..


These are some pictures of the past recent events. A group of us from school went White Water Rafting in Eastern Costa Rica. Due to it being the rainy season, it was a perfect time to go.. We went to a river called Sarapiqui.. Our group with our guide is shown in the picture. We flipped over into the river twice. Once on purpose and the other time, because the river was crazy. It was only 30.00 a person. So very affordable and fun. The other picture is of the river. And the next picture is of the cable rides through the rain forest.. You can kind of see the cable. It was fun, to watch people come into the camp ground place from the air. The cable looks like powerlines, but actually it is what the people ride.. And to my family who is reading, you all will be experiencing a ride through the forest!!!!!!!!!
Lastly this is a picture of the poor state of food, Andy and I put a roast in the oven. I usally put it in the crock pot for like 4 hours with salsa on top. It is quick and easy. So, i thought it would do the same thing if i put it in the oven.. That answer would be a great big NO!!!
Any way, we go home to Iowa for 3 weeks on Friday. We can't wait to see everyone.. And to see snow!
