What another awesome week! I can´t believe how fast the time is flying by. One thing I can believe is how much I love the food! I´ve enjoyed eating rice and beans, tortillas with meat, and chicken on a stick. It´s been a really great thing to experience the different food and force myself to eat things I may not have ever tried before.
We were all able to take a trip to MonteVerde which I really enjoyed. It was raining the whole time, but what could we expect, we were in a rain forest! It was beautiful and very peaceful. We were able to go ziplining as a group and do the superman swing. Even though I was soaked by the end, that is something I will never forget. The longest zipline was incredible because all I could see was the treetops below and nothing but white all around me.
I´ve also surprised myself as to how much I´ve enjoyed all the bus rides. I think it is because all of them, whether taking a bus to the beach or riding the 3 hour bus to MonteVerde, the scenery is fantastic. I think that´s where most of my really good scenic pictures are coming from.
My family has been nothing but wonderful and I´m very thankful for them. My host mom works at the school as the school secretary and one of my host sisters Maria Jose is in the second grade. Even though it´s the grade I´ve been teaching, she´s still very respectful when I teach. They took me to the farm again this weekend and it was so nice. I really enjoy going there because it´s so peaceful. The house has a big open porch from which to see the mountains.
I look forward to my last week here and getting to spend more time with my family.
