Well, it has been awhile! Things are going really really well! I've gotten quite busy! I work up at the High School 3 days a week and now have my very own English class that I teach 2 nights a week to a class of 25! I was so nervous the day of the class, but then every thing went so smoothly! People were even saying that my class is fun! Yes! I think I've found my calling. I mean, we all know I like to be the center of attention, but now I'm putting it to good use! I've made some more friends from San Ramon and I'm becoming very close with the english teacher's at the high school! They've been inviting me to their houses for various things and I'm really feeling very included and connected! It's been raining a lot in my town recently. Here in Costa Rica, they have 2 seasons. The rainy season, and the not so rainy. We're in the rainy. And when it rains, it sounds like the heavens have opened up and all the rain for the entire world is coming down on my house alone. This is probably because the roof is tin, but still! I've also been able to play the piano up at the small college in San Ramon. It's about a 30-45 minute bus ride from my town, but it's worth it! I've already written 4 new songs! And I have one little groupie guy that comes to listen! I've been making friends with the guards, too! They all know me by name now! For the next few weekends, I'm booked out the wazooh! I'm going to Cano Negro this weekend for a festival. Then the following weekend, I'm going back to my training community, Vuelta de Jorco to visit my host family (whom I've missed very much!), and the next weekend is Halloween! I've been invited to a family's house to have a potluck dinner. This will be my first potluck Halloween! Hey, there's a first time for everything, right? Then before I know it, it's off to AVC. The all volunteer conference. All the volunteers from all the different groups in Costa Rica come together for 4 days at a retreat type place! That should be fun! I'll have to report back on all of this again soon!!!
I love this wall!
Random things I come across....I love it!
Who knew? Chocolate ice cream and jello is delicious....together!
Costa Rican Independence Day!
Love the dancing!
