A few weeks in the life...

Hey everybody, sorry about the lack of info for the last week or so... I have been trying to get pictures up but its not wornking very well... But, I wanted to fill youin a little on my life in Puntarenas. Last weekend I went to Manuel Antonio and Quepos, where they have amazing beaches and a national park with monkeys and sloths and tons of lizzards and hermit crabs! We pretty much spent the whole day saturday lounging on the beach, and went out to get some mexican food for dinner because we all missed it (most of us being from teh great state of california where mexican food is overly abundant.) Surprisingly, the food here is very different from mexican food. Still lots of beans and rica, but the cheese is different, and they have plantaines with everything (my new favorite food by the way...) I don´t really know how to explain it, but it is delicious, and different. And this week has pretty much been like the others, nothing too special, but now I am getting kicked off the computer, so I will talk more and get some pictures (hopefully) later. Hope all´s well with all you! miss you,

Phoebe

First Field Trip

Buenos Todos!!
So Sunday was our first field trip into the rainforest of Carara National Park, and to a river where we were about a foot away from crocodiles. Here are the pictures! I'm still uploading some, it takes forever, sorry! But it was amazing!! We saw so many sweet plants and insects and the crocodiles were waaay closer than I thought! We were in a boat, and one of the tour guides got out at one point to feed the crocodile a raw chicken! I have a video I'm going to try to get on here, but not todday, there is too little sun left before the rain!! So I will keep adding pictures onto the album, and hopefully that works, its a lot easier than doing straight into here. My friend and I also went out on the peir to watch the sunset, and there are a few pictues of that too. So I'm gonna get out of here, the air conditioning is freeezing!! Hope life's good with all of you, and I'll update again soon! xoxo
