Wow! It's been a while! And once again, so much has happened! I ended up spending my Christmas Holiday in Panama! It was absolutely amazing and I would love to go back there again some day! I went with a couple of other Peace Corps volunteers and we were able to go to Panama City, stay on a tiny island out in the middle of nowhere, hike in the mountains, paddle around on a beach, and have a cool time in the old city. It was one of my most favorite vacations ever! Besides our trip to Alaska Zoe! :) Anyways. After all the crazy vacationing, Kelly came to visit me! We spent 10 days visiting my different host families and seeing San Jose and staying at a beach house that these people from Memphis own! It was great! And now, I'm back to teaching my english class and waiting for the new school year to start next month. Oh yeah! I almost forgot! The weather here has been so crazy! It's freezing!!! And the wind is so strong that it seriously knocked over 2 18-wheelers! And it knocked over a really big tree in my town! I've been wrapping myself in blankets and wearing 2 pairs of socks on my feet! Tropical paradise, right? Anyways! Next week kicks off a really huge beer festival here in Costa Rica and it happens to be pretty close to where I live. It's in a town called Palmares and I'll be going to see what it's all about. It's a bummer that I don't like beer. Why can't they have a wine festival? Oh, I remember...Hurricane Leah. Anyways! I'll write again soon!
p.s. I miss my Rock Star!
