Hello everyone. I hope everything is good with all of you. Well let me think. Friday I went to school again and afterwards we all went horseback riding. It was really cool. It was raining a little but I didnt mind. I have never gotton to a full gallop on a horse before and it was really cool to do that. We rode all around the mountain and we didnt have to stay in a stupid line. I really enjoyed it. A lot of the girls in the school were leaving this weekend so we went out to have dinner and to celebrate. It was a really good time.
On Saturday we all went rafting. Oh wow. It was great. We went on the Pacuare river, one of the top five most beautiful rivers in the world, and it was. I couldnt believe how cool it was. There were honey moon resorts but also 25% of the indigenous population live in the jungle surrounding it. So we saw their homes. You can go on a three day rafting trip and go to their villages and bring them things but I dont have time. Maybe one day. We went on class four rapids and it was awsome. Our guide was great. They fed us a really good lunch and then beer at the end. I also bought pictures of our boat. You will all get to see them.
Yesterday we went to another waterfall. This was a hike and I was glad we had a guide with us. We walked through jungle and coffee fields. So beautiful. We went up to the top of the waterfall and I had to cross the river. I went first and the current was so strong that I slipped and got carried down the rapids. SCARY. But I survived and so did all my stuff. I am lucky that my backpack was waterproof. I turned out to be a great day.
I am really enjoying life here. When I get back to my house here I get to watch the Dodgers with Enrique. Awsome.
This Friday I am going to Puerto Viejo. Its a really nice beach town and I get to see the best surfing spot in Costa Rica, Salsa Brava. My friend Flour is going with me so that is good. I am really exicited. Then on Sunday I go on to Boca Del Toro! So excited for the beaches.
That is all for now. I will write again soon. Love you all!
Nancy,
The weather is hot in the morning and then it rains around 6 in the evening all night but its still hot. You can drink the water. It all comes from the springs from the mountains. Its really good. The water is cold but not too cold. Its perfect for how hot it is. Ask more questions I like to answer them.

Hi martine! its good to her all the cool things your getting to do on your trip! River rafting is a blast, i did it once in colorado a long time ago, and still remember it today. although horse back riding scares me. maybe some day you can take me there and show me around. Are the beaches and surf as good as i've heard? are the locals nice to you, and how's the food? do they use lots of garlic? when i went to Panama they used lots of garlic. i really like reading about aventures so keep writing. going to vegas on thursday for a MRI seminar, sounds boring and it is, but i get credits for it.
