Triumphant Return

Mood: Cold
Music: Miley Cyrus - Party in the USA
[Note - this song is not in my head by choice, my housemates are obsessed with it and sing it CONSTANTLY]

So shoot me, I never actually "finished" this blog. Basically, my last three days in Costa Rica went like this:

Saturday: Hiked through Manuel Antonio, saw all kinds of monkeys and sloths and lizards, and probably the most beautiful beach I had seen the entire time I was there. After the hike, we went back up to the hotel to get changed, then caught the bus down to First Beach. I fulfilled the last of my goals for Costa Rica - learn how to surf. Okay, so I can't really say I -learned-, more like I tried it, managed to stand up once, but otherwise it was kind of a disaster. I cut my nose on the surfboard, for heaven's sake.

Sunday: Our last day in Manuel Antonio. We ate a late breakfast, and then caught the bus back to San Jose and a cab back to Heredia. I left the fam to fend for themselves and went and spent my last night with Danny for a while. Maybe I shouldn't have left them alone, but hey, I needed time with my fiance.

And Monday we left to come back... Sigh.

Anyway, you're probably wondering why I picked back up on this blog now, of all the random times to do so. Well, I have wonderful news: I'm going back to Costa Rica over spring break!!! And this prospect could not come at a better time, as DC is currently expecting Snowpocalypse 2.0.

But I think I'd also like to keep this blog going anyway, even if I'm not in Costa Rica. It'll be nice to have an outlet for things that happen at work/school/internship and to whine about how USCIS is so slow when it comes to our paperwork (yes, I submitted the request for an immigrant visa for Danny).

So I guess that's it for now, and while my posts may not be too regular, I'm gonna try to make them keep happening.

Here's to the thought of summer in Monteverde in a month.

Pura Vida,
Sarah
