So I think that this is my last blog entry until I get home. It is my last night in Turriabla and I dont think that I will have internet down at Bribri. So from tomorrow on, I am going to switch to writing in a journal and then copy it into my blog when I get home.
So my last entry was on thursday, so I will start with Friday. (I´m sorry for the upcoming type-os. I am writing in the dark because my whole family went to bed and shut off all the lights)
On friday, I went repelling for my third time. It was fun because my new group is really fun, so I had a good time. All the guides were joking that they could hire me, because i have done this so many times and am now a pro. They guides even remembered my name when i got there and I now have three new friends, their names are Paul, Marco and Marco, who have been my guides all three times. It was raining the beginning, although that hardly made a difference because we got so wet anyway, the extra water went unnoticed. Then finally in the end it got sunny. After we had lunch at the repelling place and took pictures with the guides. Then we headed off the school and then after we went and played some soccer.
On saturday I went rafting on the Pacuare river, and they said that our trip was about 18 miles. I was in a raft with my friend (and neighbor) Taylor and another girl Megan and one of our rustic guides named Wainer. I had the same rafting guide named Abel that I had the first time. I´m pretty sure that he is bi-polar, but at least he didnt flip us this time. That was fun, it was raining when we started but the sun came out eventually. After, we went and changed and then had the great lunch of sandwiches. It was delicious and everyone was starving. After eating we all got back on the bus and drove back and went to pops for some ice cream.
Sunday was family day. We really didnt do very much, our mom was gone for the day because her friends uncle died so we were on our own. We slept late and then had some breakfast. After we watched a movie on my ipod and played cards. The rest of the day we watched tv or hung out in our room. Food was kind of scarse because our mom was away and we had popcorn for diunner. After we were still hungry and ate a bunch of this candy that Sarah had bought, none of it was good but we were starving!
Today, I spent the morning in town. We went to the internet cafe and then to the supermarket called SUPER MEGA! After we headed over to the suvenier shop for people to buy whatever Turriabla paraphenilia they wanted. After we walked back to the guide house and watched the Hangover and ate pizza for lunch. Then we went to school for my last real day. We actually didnt do very much, my group went on a walk for about an hour. After school we played some soccer and then we came home. I had my final dinner with the family (rice, beans, potatoes and fried platanos) and Taylor and her roomate Steph came over to help me pack. We also took some pictures with the family and I will have to take pictures of the house when it is light out.
Tomorrow I have my last day of class in the morning and then we meet up with the other group for lunch, then we head back for san jose. I´m definitely sad to leave here, I had a great time. (i will also miss the coffee hahah) I will try to write again as soon as i can, but im not sure when that will be. If not, then i will see everyone in about a week!
