In and Around the House

Here are a few more photos. The top three are of my kitchen, and where we wash the dishes. In Costa Rica, the sinks are actually outside. Strange eh?¿Below too are a few pictures of the local flowers or plants. Aren´t they different and beautiful¿ I am already having difficulty typing in english. I have already written in Spanish and had to erase it all many times. :P I hope you all enjoy reading and if you have any questions or comments, feel free to post on here. Love you all.

I´m Here! Safe and Sound

Finally I have arrived once again in the gorgeous land in Costa Rica. My travels went really well and I didn´t have any problems with the flying. Thank Goodness. When I arrived in Costa Rica, I was greated by my mother and brother (host) of course. Attached are photos of what I see everday when I look out of the window. The photo with the fence is the local Balnearios (pool) that I can go to whenever I like. As well there is a photo of my house with the bars and the cars. This is actually standard in Costa Rica. All houses have their garage in front of the house with bars so that they can be locked. :) Today I went for a run and I didnt even get 3 minutes in before my calves were KILLING me because I am surrounded by hills and mountains on all sides.

Returning Once Again

After two years away, I am returning back to Costa Rica for a 7 week vacation. I have no specific plans but I hope to have a relaxing, amazing and different time. I am going to take every opportunity that is proposed to me, and I will jump at every chance to try something new. Hope you enjoy. I will try to update as much as possible. :)

Present Time!

This is in Manzanillo when we gave gifts to all of the kids, and they were all so happy. It was so nice to see and be apart of.

Trip to Manzanillo, Limon

Here was where I got to help kids that families didnt have a lot of money. They played games, danced, had fun, and got presents and treats. I helped out with the cooking and the organizing before the party, and then with a bit of facepainting. It was an amazing experience. And they all had a ball.

Hey Everyone!

Hey Everyone,

Feel free to make comments or ask questions so I can share my knowledge. Today, I have officially started exploring. I went to a pretty busy city, probably 4x worse as Charlottetown, and survived. It takes about 40 minutes by bus from where I live but only about 20 from my school. I went straight from my highschool, and then decided to join the Gym in this town, but it takes a lot of walking to get there. Therefore, I am getting tons of exercise, and window shopping, talking to people, but being safe, and just loving being independent. Hope you guys all enjoy my blog, and if there is anything special you want to hear about or see, just ask me. Also if you want to send an email to me, my email is iwannabeme33@hotmail.com and here is my address here incase you want to send a letter. Talk to you again soon. ~~Jodhi

The After Party

I thought this was a really interesting tradition. If you want to dance with either the bride or groom, you have to attach a bill to them. It was quite an interesting sight. I think it is a great idea, you get to have fun, and meanwhile you are helping a newly wed out.
