Hola! So I tried real hard to get the video to post...tried several different ways. It just didn't want to post I guess. Sorry about that. So here's some more pictures instead from my weekend! These are from the public beach that was just across from our hotel. We went to it on Sunday. It was a little cloudy...but it's still beautiful!
There was this dog ^ who wanted to be with his owners so badly it was so adorable! You can see him trying to follow his owners in the second picture above. They were going surfing. So he would try to swim out there but the waves were too big and strong so he would come back to the beach. Then he'd try again...
And again...
and again...until one of his owners (the little girl below) came back. He was the happiest dog ever when she came back ashore. It was just too cute to not try to capture. :) I had to take pictures. I'm such a dog lover. However, if you were there you would think it's adorable also. We found a log to sit on and sat and watched him. It was fun.
We also watched all the surfers! They were amazing to watch! The waves were perfect too. Especially for beginners. A storm was brewing and you could tell the tide was a little higher then normal. This weekend it just down-poured in quite a few parts of Costa Rica I guess.
Cause when we got home my Mama tica immediately asked us if we had heard from Erica or seen her. A flood was in Turrialba this Sunday and no transportation was going out or in there. (Erica went to Puerto Viejo again with a friend from home who was studying in Turrialba) So Erica called Kathleen asking her if she could pick them up because they took a bus to the wrong city, and also asking if her friend could come home with her since her friend (Brittany) couldn't go back to her host family in Turrialba. Well, I guess Kathleen couldn't understand her or something and they got disconnected. So she was worried about them ( I was too for the half an hour we were home before Erica showed up) but they showed up all safe and sound and soaked. :) In conclusion, it rained a lot in Costa Rica this weekend. Locals were happy since their "rainy season" has been pretty dry. They needed the rain. It just caused some issues. :) But it was all good, and we got to meet Erica's friend because of it.
This was our hotel room this time around! Not as bad as in Puerto Viejo. Much cleaner.
And this is the little friend who scared Sam while she was walking to our room :) Just popped out at her! It was pretty funny. Well, I suppose I should talk about today, too! Today was good... just a regular school day. Except I had my final test today. Which i hope went well... we'll see! Then we watched some Olympics and did homework! I have a presentation on Wednesday on a medicinal plant that they use here in Costa Rica! I'm pretty excited for this one. However, we still haven't decided on which plant we're going to use. It's in between a Guanabana and Chan. We'll decide in the morning. :) Tomorrow is going to be a busy day though! We're having a pizza party through our program CEA to discuss with each other our experiences and whatnot. Then I have class even though we took the test already... but we're hopefully going to go to the health fair that students are putting together for tomorrow for a little bit. Then CEA also organized a movie night for us! We're going to the new Batman movie at the theater in San Jose! So I'm pretty excited for that! I've only heard good things about it.
Well, that's about it for now!
Buenos Noches!
