Costa Rica is freaking amazing. Right now I´m at a youth hostel in San Jose, but for the past week I have been in Caño Negro, which is a small village about 5 hours from San Jose and 15 minutes from the Nicaraguan border. Tomorrow I head back up there to do another week of service, and I am completely psyched.
So far I have swum next to a cayman, learned how to salsa dance (Puchi happens to be an incredible dancer), taken a cruise ship to La Isla Tortuga, patrolled the river for poachers, mixed cement to build a sidewalk for the new ecological laboratory, painted Caño Negro´s community center, been hit on by Henry the artist, rode horseback through the rainforest, and made some incredible friends.
Oh, and my mother´s camera hates me and deleted about 150 of my pictures today, so my collection will be severly lacking. Sorry, guys. Hopefully I will make up for it next week.
I don´t think I will ever get sick of eating gallo pinto, ceviche, and fresh fruit.
More later, because there is a gigantic line of people waiting for me to get off the computer. Hope everything is going well in the states!
