On Saturday we went to Tortuga Island which was AMAZING! It's absolutely beautiful and snorkling and banana boat rides were included in the cost which was awesome! I snorkled for a bit but started getting really freaked out when all the fish were all around me so I had to get out! ha but it was great. There was a band, a delicious buffet, we played volleyball frisbee and just relaxed on the beach! We road an hour and a half cruise their and back which was really nice too.
Today we went to the National Museum for Costa Rica in central San Jose with artifacts and a whole bunch of stuff from precolumbian times to recent which was neat. We walked around central San Jose a bit and went into some bookstores where I bought the first Harry Potter book in spanish to read when I have time! I'm kind of excited about it! I've been wanting to do that for a while now and I can just buy the next ones when I finish!
But more importantly.. Last night I felt my first earthquake! It was about 10pm and I was about to fall asleep when it happened so I couldn't figure out if it was part of my dream or really happening but it was scary! It was apparently a 6 on the scale.
I have a oral presentation due on Friday and a written test on Monday so I've got a lot to do and not much free time so far!
Stephanie!! We´re so glad that you´re writing a blog, it´s exciting to read what you´re doing! It looks so beautiful there, and MY GOD ..look at your perfect six pack!! You look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe´ve been thinking about you a lot and are so excited that you get to experience Costa Rica. It´s pretty scary that you felt an earthquake, did anything fall off of the shelves?
Anyways, we look forward to hearing more about your adventures. We miss you!
