Home for the Holidays!
Well there really is no place at home. It didn't feel too much like Christmas leading up to it though, even if Costa Rica was decked out with Christmas trees, lights, Santas, and wreaths. I think it might be because I didn't hit up a mall this year. Not that I was planning on it anyway...
So my trip was AMAZING! So much fun, so much food, tropical animals, trees, water, etc etc. My favorite thing was seeing the elusive and endangered Scarlet Macaws open their wings and fly through the misty rainforest. I also loved the canopy tour, which is you on a harness and a cable flying through the air, over the trees. Absolutely incredible.
On a down note...you never appreciate your pooper until it doesn't work correctly. After eating all this food and not being able to expel it immediately like I am used to, I was needless to say, pretty bloated. And uncomfortable. Towards the end, after trying natural remedies (like loading up on things in my diet) I turned to the bottle. Philips, milk of magnesia. And then...WHAM! The opposite problem! For 2 days! Like a lava flow! I am slowly recuperating...nothing like the humiliation of going to the bathroom and having everyone in your party look at you expectantly on your emergence going "success?"
Christmas was cool. I got a lot of sweaters and warm weather things. I also received a power drill from my dad, who was sick of me borrowing his. And some sexy black lingerie in my stocking, courtesy of my mother...I pulled it out, and them SMUSH! Back in the stocking before too many people could see it!
I am currently in SD at Andrew's. We picked lemons in the orchard yesterday and made lemonade...spiked with Guaro. Today we are seeing Matt and his actress girlfriend from New Zealand, Florence.
Have a great holiday season! Let me know if you want to see pix!
