Hey everyone...
Quick update from centro Americano here. Rachel and I have been in Costa Rica now for four days and she would probably tell you that the biggest surprise is: I've been able to converse (mas o menos) in espanol with no problemos. Well. A few. For one, I'm not confident in my skills. The last time I studied was in college over eight years ago. But, I am pleased to say... and my teachers would be equally pleased... a lot has stuck with me.
Worst thing about the trip... ants. Why'd it hafta be ants? (As Indy would say.) To comment on that, here's Rachel:
Our beautiful hotel room couldn't get infested with Mariposa or Snakes or birds....no....freakin ants! My knight in shining armor has thankfully saved me, but I have been itching and freakin out for like 3 days now. But Costa Rica is beautiful:)
Kris again:
The scariest thing here has been the driving... if you could call it that. Want to hear a joke? What side of the street do Ticos drive on? Whichever side they like.
Strangely enough, rapelling wasn't terrifying... However, we still have zip lines to go. Soon we'll have photos and stories and such.... but now our internet time is up.
To Adam and Steph: Have a happy wedding!
To Pennie and Cynthia: Happy b-day ya'll!
Hasta luego...
