it seems that i havent wrote in a week. Last you heard, all the new kids came. Since them we really havent seen them much, which is a little weird but i met them all today (tues) On Thursday, i decided to go horseback riding again. Since more people wanted to go horseback riding this time than last time (last i went with 5 kids, and this time 10 wanted to go) and someone had stolen 5 horses from the school we had to go in 2 shifts. I am not entirely sure how someone goes about stealing 5 horses without being noticed, but we were some short. I ended up going in the second shift. I went with my friends Jenny, Ben, Corey, Alex and Max and my counselor Josh. However, for whatever reason, the guide said that he wasnt going to come with us. So we all went out together but shortly lost the path and ended up wandering thought someone´s farm until we hit a town and then rode back. It was fun but way less fun than the first time.
The next day I had school in the morning (another kid joined my group so it now consisted of me, Jenny, Alex, Ben and Corey) We then went to a new place for lunch called la feria. i liked it a lot i had arroz con pollo (no frijoles!) and after we went nack to the guide house for an hour to kill some time before we went to our salsa dance class. The class turned out to be fun, but it was mostly only me and my friend Jenny participating. A lot of the girls have been here for a few weeks now and didnt want to do it again and just about all the boys quit pretty soon into it. I ended up dancing the salsa with one of my couselors named Jose. We also learned the cumbia, i now know i am terrible at both, but it was fun to learn. After we went to the maxibodega (the walmart of Costa Rica) where people bought snacks for their houses and whatever they were needing and then we went to Pops for some ice cream. Following that, we went to the soccer field for another game of soccer (i am becoming quite the defender! haha) That night me and my roomate Sally went to our friends Alex and Jocab´s house with a bunch of our friends. that was a lot of fun, we always have fun when we all get together.
Saturday I went white water rafting- I was in a boat with My friends Jenny, Ben, Corey and Max. It was a lot of fun but our guide was a bit of a jerk. He tipped our raft over in the middle of a rapid, which wasnt particularly enjoyable, but overall i had a lot of fun. Halfway through we stopped to have lunch, which was actually incredible. The had brought all this stuff and they set up a whole table (a boat flipped over with a table cloth) we had sandwiches, which i had no idea how much i missed a good sandwhich, and there was chips and different dips and some pastry things. That night our friends Jules and Sara (who live across the street) came over for a little while.
Sunday was family day. We went to the university pool and hung out there for a bit. We saw some kids that we know but over all not too many people. Laster we came home and me and sally watched tv and played card for the rest of the day. That night for dinner we had hot dogs with russian dressing and raw cabbage (a first)
Monday I had school in the morning (my last day with my group) and after lunch (pizza! this is 3 meals in a row that i havent had rice and beans) we went the the botanical gardens. This would have been nice but a few things happened. 1. it was pouring. 2. We got swarmed by black biting honey bees. There were literally 100s of bees and they were all over everyone. I had a bunch in my hair and when all was said and done everyone was covered in bites that are very similar to mosquito bites and are very itcy. (my legs look like i have chicken pocks) Then we complained so much that they ended the tour early. oh well :) That night we hung out with Sara and Jules
Today, everyone staying for 2 weeks left, which was my entire group but 5 kids. It was really sad. In the morning the kids leaving had school and i went to this place called Guayabo. It is the sight of an anciet cilization. It sounded like it would be interesting but it was really 3 hours looking at rocks. AFter lunch we took a bunch of pictures and said goodbye and I went off to school. I have a new group now since my whole group left. I am now in the "advanced group" with this kid jordan and thie kid austin who i dont particually like like. But its still good, i learned a lot today so i suppose that is all that matters for the moment. I am now combined with last weeks new kids, they seem nice. I am getting to know them more.
Tomorrow a new group of kids come. I think that there is 14 or soething big like that. I will try to do this more often so these entries arent so long!
