This ^ is from last post but now the pictures work!

The weekend of my life-

Thursday was the Dia de la independencia in Costa Rica so the night before there were incredible parades with hundreds of kids and paper laterns and drums that set off the car alarms and we all got caught in the middle! but so incredible! Thursday night we all went out salsa dancing until around 2 when we left to go to an afterparty at a reggee bar with the owner of a bar we always meet at! So funny!

The next morning alyssa and I went bungee jumping! Off a 260 ft bridge into the forest...it was one of the most incredible things I´ve ever done and you should all try it! After bungee jumping still a bit tipsy since we didn´t get in until 4...we did the natural thing and pregamed our four hour bus ride to the beach! In broad daylight drinking at 11 am...fantastic really.

The beach is another story entirely, the most beautiful I have ever seen with all sorts of monkeys and sloths and iguana all over the place! So much fun...and then slow dancing in the waves in a thunderstorm...swooooooooon. There were sloths in our tree and we swam and laid out all day, and I´ve bought some pablo neurda poetry to read along with the russian lit...and its beautiful!

Sunday night after we got back I went to see the orchestra but instead found a nicaraguen ballet that was sold out...but somehow managed to talk myself into a free box seat in the friends and family area! haha it was beautiful and I loved it! So that is pretty much what has been going on...there are more pictures on facebook if you´re into that sort of thing.

Hasta! <3!
