Karen and I were talking about how we miss the green and the trees and the clean clear water and the fall leaves. Its pretty much always the same here…warm and polluted. But that's cause we are in a town. We haven't really gotten to travel outside yet.
We just found out this afternoon when school got out that the 10 of us SMs will be traveling to Costa Rica this weekend. We will leave Friday afternoon. They are not able to get us a working visa or any more extensions and this Monday is the last holiday we have before our time runs out around Nov. 15th . We'll have to drive like over 10 hours each way! In Costa Rica we will stay at a university. We are excited about it but at the same time not…I mean we will be traveling for hours in a bus or van (they have not worked out any of the details yet…everything is last minute here). And we are really close to the parcial (pretty much quarter) being over and we have lesson plans and tests and grading and putting all our grades into our catrachitos (the crazy way of recording grades). Anyway there is just so much to do…but we have to stay out of the country for 3 whole days so we will probably not be getting back till Monday night really late or even Tuesday morning.
It feels like it has been much longer than two months to me! I have learned so much just in the short time being here. We have had some crazy experiences. Its been really good for me though. I can't wait to come back to Walla Walla next year with a totally new perspective on life.
I feel like I have adapted to life here pretty well but I don't think I'll ever get used to living with geckos and coach roaches! Sorry I just saw two geckos and had to throw that in there.
Anyway its late...well 9:40 but that's late cause I have still have to take a shower and get ready for bed and be up by 5:30! I was thinking about it this morning when I woke up for my devotional that back home I had trouble getting up by 9 and now everyday 5:30! Crazy I tell ya!
