I received many complaints for not posting while I was in San Jose last weekend... my apologies.
Last weekend I took the bus up to San Jose for the first time, a very long trip that began at 4:30 AM and didn't get me into the city until just after noon. I went to an event with my program called country presentations, where volunteers who are here from around the world give a small presentation on their home country to the group of Costa Ricans who are considering going abroad in the next few months, in order to help them choose a country to travel to. The countries presented last weekend were Germany, Switzerland, and Austria; I will have to go back this coming week to give the presentation on the United States next Saturday.
Right now, I am in a small beach town called Uvita, only about half an hour's bus ride north of my own house. I found out yesterday that I didn't have to be at work today, so decided last minute to take the long weekend and go somewhere. I got on the bus at 4:30 this morning, not entirely sure where I'd end up (although I did have a pretty good idea), and at 6:15 was walking through the gate at the Flutterby House, a hostel in Uvita. I was completely amazed. While I (very unfortunately) don't have the cord for my camera to post pictures, the hostel's website is www.flutterbyhouse.com and they have several pictures there... I'm staying in a tree house. Right now, it's just me, the lady who owns and runs the hostel, and a handful of guys from around the world who are there to surf. We're right on the beach, where I spent the entire day today, and you can hear the waves from the hostel.
Well, that's about it! Hopefully I'll be able to get some more pictures up in about a week when I'm back in San Jose.
