Week 2

This week has gone by super fast - I can't believe tomorrow is already Friday and I might be embarking on my next weekend excursion! I say "might be" because we have all been talking about going to Manuel Antonio on the Pacific coast but there hasn't been any definite plans made yet as far as I know. I'm sure that by the end of the day today I will hear something.

If the weeks keep going by this fast my time here will fly!

The only exciting story from this week I guess would be St. Patty's day. It was very strange to have a St. Patty's where hardly anyone else recognized or celebrated it. Me, Beth, Myla, Bircka, Jillian and Sean all went out in Santa Anna. We weren't planning on drinking a lot until we found out that there was a drink special with 1 1/2 shot vodka, oj, pineapple, and mango juice for only 700 colones! (aka about 1.25 each!) It was the first time anything has been crazy cheaper than in the states - so of course we took advantage :) No worries though, we were all in a big group and very safe.

I know one thing - I want my belated corned beef and cabbage dinner when I get back!!! I have such a craving for it; I only get it once a year and I couldn't here :(

I'm starting to adventure a little more on my own - I took the city bus by myself to Santa Anna on Tuesday night and I walked around town after school by myself. Slowly but surely I am getting more comfortable with my surroundings.

It sounds like Adam and maybe 3 others are really thinking about coming down the last week of April - which would be really awesome, but kind of sucky at the same time because my break is in the first week of April. Basically, I'm going to have to figure out where they can stay and what they can do while I'm at school everyday. I mean, I know they are big boys and they can fend for themselves...but you kind of have to travel to really find stuff to do. It's kind of like being in Chelsea actually - you have to go a couple towns over to get to a movie theater and whatnot.

Well, that's about it really. Nothing too crazy to update you on. Hope all is going well in the States!
