past few days

So here is what i have been up to in the past few days. My first "real" day went well. I went horseback riding in the morning, which was fun. I hadnt done that in a really long time. My horse´s name Guerno and it didnt like to do anything but trot or gallop. I´m pretty sure that not going to be able to sit for a few more days. The galloping was actually a lot less painful, but I was scared that i was going to go flying off the front. I think i was able to take some good pictures but i havent had a chance to look through them. Its really beautiful here, the school is on the side of the mountain and looks over the town of Turriabla and the surrounding moutains. I also have a good view of Volcan Turriabla from my house; I will need to make sure that I get a good picture of it before I get home. My first day of classes went well too. I like my group a lot, i am with a girl named Jjenny and a boy named Alex. We have school for 4 hours a day. The first 3 hours we have a teacher named Maria and we do grammer and spanish skills and the last hour we have a teacher named Esteban with whom we play games and practice speaking. That night we went to the guide´s house and made costa rican style neclaces and breacelets using wooden beads. This morning (friday) I went canoning/ziplining in the rainforest. We alternated between repelling down waterfalls ( i get absolutely drenched) and ziplining through the trees. ( i saw a sloth (: ) It was so much fun, i think that im going to try to go again at some point before i leave. School went well today too. nothing to special to report, although i get so much homework! oh well, hopefully i will be very good at spanish :)
