1. Dogs bark so loudly in this neighborhood.
2. This weekend is my birthday celebration trip to the beach - I abandoned my decision to not plan anything and found a sweet hostel in Puerto Viejo online and now I feel like we have a full van heading out on Friday, hopefully.
3. Good thing - I'm feeling the lack of sunshine.
4. Got my passport back today with an added Chinese visa! 1 month + 10 days!
5. I feel like mustaches are a cross-cultural thing. Maybe in order to create peace in conflict, male leaders need to come together and discuss their mustaches.
6. Construction here has two speeds: really stinking fast (hooters) and the pace of a snail (every other building)
7. Slow internet teaches patience and fuels frustration - a dichotomy, I know.
8. Everyone seems to be getting someone sick or run-down. Prayer for health would be good. I have a nice lump behind an ear that feels like a swollen lymph node or something along with my stuffiness.
9. JOB SEARCHING IS TERRIFYING (if you haven't figured that out from earlier posts)
10. Batidos frescos = que bueno :)
11. Mama Kuki has this wonderful saying "Que cosita más divina!" - one of the ladies I work with said it on Monday and it made me smile.
12. Also with the boss - she told me that if I ever need anything, just ask. I guess when I didn't come in on Monday last week because of my eye they were very concerned about me. I work with the most wonderful people :)
13. Office Depot in Costa Rica looks exactly like Office Depot in the United States
14. Buses are ridiculous here. I love them. They are fun to watch people on. For instance, I saw a few people in sweet plaid shirts the other day. I also saw a few great hairstyles. And some great old ladies. They're pretty stylish here.
15. Michael Buble Christmas album. Bought it on Amazon. Winner.
I find myself tired all the time. I'm not really sure why; I feel like I'm not doing much other than homework and class, but I guess the language still has a toll on you as well as the adventures of travel. Sometimes it is bad having something that you are looking forward to very much in the future, because it makes it difficult to live in the moment.
This trip to Puerto Viejo is overwhelming me. I am SO excited. Mostly to get out and do something not in San Rafael or Heredia. I'm also hoping to get to Manzanillo, or at least go out in that general direction. Apparently it's a great place to ride a rent-a-bike too from Puerto Viejo and the short ride between the towns has some of the best beaches in Costa Rica. Praying for sunshine.
