Jungle Time begins:

We left San jose monday morning after a bit of crazy wkend activity. Thursday was the last day of our Spanish class, which was a bit sad but totally awesome thanks to my final presentation on the Loch ness Monster...so necessary! and a then Friday was Rosh Hashana celebrated in Tico style with way too much wine, and some friends over my tica family's house! and of course a great deal of bread and honey! Saturday night was incredible, the bar that we've been meeting at every night was tended by yours truly and my friend Madison in exchange for free drinks and food all night! Sooo soooo fun! but unfortunately resulted in a highly illegal sleepover and maddy's...a girl...homestay family's home! We had to sneak out at 6 am, after about -2 hrs of sleep to make it on time to the interleague championship soccer game in Herredia! One of the craziest experiences I've ever had with a million people jumping up and down shouting punta(bitch) for two hours! We also had quite the experience getting there involving a bus trip from hell that prompted drinking before 10 am. Don't ask...

We left the next morning(after I went to an all night gay club called la abeja...the bee, with my friend Chris) for Cuerci, a mountain forest region that was incredible. Our guide Carlos was a real live mountain man with beard and dogs to boot! Amazing experience hiking and learning and just general jungle living...I was sad to go but on the bright side, the station we're at now is a bit warmer and has internet...tada! I'll try and post some pictures from Cuerci soon, but trust me it was more than words...hopefully this place will be fun too!

Talk to everyone soon, miss you all like crazy, please comment and help my homesick! <3
