You should name him....Pulga.

This is how we roll....
If I am fat, it is not my fault.
My view from my horse.
What is that?

My new favorite flower!



My days in my training community are coming quickly to a close. Imagine riding on a roller coaster for the last 10 weeks, without stopping, and you are barely grasping what it's been like! I am so happy because I recently visited my new town and I am absolutely in love. I love my new host family, my new community, and everything surrounding it! My swearing in ceremony is this Friday and then after that, I'm headed west my son...well actualy northwest...but anyways! For those of you who know me best, you are well aware that I easily get carsick. I am seriously going to videotape my hours on the bus. It's like a runaway train on Blood Mountain (for my GA friends!). I wish there were a better way for me to capture my experience here because I feel like I am leaving so much off and still have so much to say! My Spanish has gotten a lot better and I feel a lot more comfortable getting around! I can't wait until I am more fluent and don't have to concentrate so hard just to speak and understand. I'm on my computer right now, so I'll upload a bunch of pictures! And I'm also very excited to get to my town because things will really slow down and I should be able to be in better contact with all of you....Especially you Lesli! I want to give a shout out to you and your new job! I have not forgotten you! :) I'll hopefully write again soon!

Swine is fine!

I'm still alive! I'm nearing the end of my training and it's been a crazy last few weeks! I've been traveling all over the country and we just had a big site revealing on Friday! I know where I'm going to live now! Everyone is really excited and we are spread out all across Costa Rica! I'm going to be living about an hour or so away from San Jose! Before revealing, we had Tech Week, and I visited a town that was so hot, it was seriously 90 degrees in my room at night! So, I'm really excited because I am going to be living in a cooler community! It's in the mountains! Who would have thought? I move to Costa Rica and I'm living in the mountains! How awesome! And I'm only an hour or so from a beach, too! And I'll be working with youth, teaching english, and helping with computers! I'll try to blog again soon and add some more pictures! Bye for now!
