Today was another simple but great day. We went to school early because Marlous started her volunteer project close to the school and I got to call my dad! It was great to hear his voice and it made my day! I love you dad! School was interesting today because I wasn’t feeling very good but had so much planned. At break I reserved the hotel rooms, lunch I organized a group of 16 to go out to eat at “spoon” a wonderful Costa Rican restaurant, then after school got a group to go shopping down in the art district! So the day zoomed by and I am here writing my blog after packing for the weekend. Some important facts about my day, I love spoon, I met someone wonderful in the art district. Yes, it was a boy. Haha but it was just a wonderful conversation. We talked for an hour while the others shopped, it saved me some money! It was so nice just to talk to a tican and not feel pressured into buying, going, doing, nothing just a wonderful conversation. I was able to speak in Spanish for the whole hour and actually understand what he was saying back. We started out with normal conversation and made fun of each other’s languages of course, then started talking about real life. One thing he said to me that I will never forget is, tu tiene muy pura ojos, it has so much more meaning in Spanish, but its you have very pure eyes, he explained to me that he could see my innocence and enjoyment of life in how clear my eyes displayed what was on my heart. It definitely changed the way I think about a lot of things and I feel so lucky that I got to have such a great conversation while walking through the shopping district. Pura Vida Juan José. I am now off to bed because I leave to the Pacific Coast at 5 in the morning! I will be beaching it in Santa Teresa and jumping off waterfalls in Montezuma! I love life! Pura Vida mis amigos! <3
