This week has been good. I have been trying to spend a lot of time with my host family and their friends becuase I know my time here is short.
Last weekend I went to the beach with my family. We went to Playa Contral and Playa Flamingo. We had a lot of fun. I spent time looking for shells at Contral. The sand there is made up of seashells. It feels different when you walk on it, your feet sink down in it since the pieces are so big. At Playa Flamingo we ate lunch. The food was really good.
The rest of this week has been really quiet. I have spent a lot of time with my family at the house or hanging out at my family's pharmacy. They are just wonderful people to be around. I am so happy that I was given the opportunity to be here and live with them. They are very giving. My mother bought gifts for my family, including my grandparents. I told her that they did not need gifts but she told me that they wanted to thank my family for me and so she wanted to get them gifts. They are very special people.
I am ready to go home and see my family but I will truly miss the people that I met during my time in Costa Rica.
