When I first arrived I didn't understand why Flor would tell me to bring my umbrella when there wasn't a cloud in the sky. But then as I would walk to school in the morning I would notice everyone else had an umbrella in hand; so I thought, they must know what they are doing. It's true, they did. It rains, it rains in the afternoon and without warning, but sometimes in the morning. And if it doesn't rain the day before it rain's harder, and when you don't think it can rain any harder it does. An umbrella protects you from I would say level one rain, the drops, and maybe a little heavier. Once the rain starts moving sideways, it really only becomes an accessory, it's time to face the facts: you will get soaked. An umbrella is part of your accessories, and little did I know it should really match the color of your shoes and handbag and any other accessories you can find to match it. I have realized umbrellas are quite useful, from using them as a cane to being able to pull the bus "ding" cord with the handle end so you don't have to get up out of your seat. They even have umbrella lockers at the National Theater. So if you are traveling to Costa Rica make sure you bring your umbrella along with any other accessories that may match it.
Today is a morning off, with school at noon. Before vacation, I was pretty much teaching full day's but the student's had a lot of other things going on that there was not too much time for lessons. The next few weeks are a bit more calm and I am excited to really be managing and teaching the whole class.
I have found a yoga studio near the University so I am heading there for a class at 6:15 tonight. I am very excited! I am not sure what to expect, I think it will be quite interesting as the class is done in Spanish, I have never taken a Spanish spoken Yoga class before. I believe I will understand some of it, as the original terms for poses are Sanskrit. I think it will be a good experience either way.
So as I had mentioned I have many pictures from the last two weeks, I will post them little by little so you get an Idea. They are all on Facebook so feel free to browse the album there as well. here are a few......
Adam and I on our "Planet Dolphin" cruise in Manuel Antonio. The central pacific. We saw only a couple dolphins but it was still a great time!
The storm rolling in in Manuel Antonio
Mom and I caught Blue Tuna unexpectedly on our Ocean/Dolphin/Turtle/Snorkle everything rolled into one cruise in Sámara. It was quite an experience. Don't we look so proud and strong!!!
