Last Days in Costa Rica

It is my last day in Costa Rica. I am so sad!! I have had an awesome last week though. My friends and I went out to Salsa and Merengue dancing clubs most nights this week. It was very fun! On Tuesday night, after we went dancing, a group of us (very spontaneously) decided to go to the closest beach to San Jose called Jaco! It was CRAZY! It was about an hour drive there and it was already 1:00 am... we drove right up onto the beach at about 2:00 am and hung out there. I kinda fell in the water with my clothes on... hahaha! Thankfully the water was really warm and I didn't fall all the way in. It was kind of raining and there was a thunder and lightning storm that we watched out over the ocean. We were literally the only people on the beach and we had so much fun! We got a little hungry later and got pizza around three and then went back to the beach again. We got back in San Jose in time to take a shower and get ready for class... it was NUTS! Even though it was a little bit dumb, it was so worth it! It was so spontaneous and so fun, it is definitely one of my highlights of the trip.

Last night we went out to the normal Thursday night place called Castros. It is a Salsa and Merengue club with a very 90s vibe (I can't put my finger on why I get that vibe, I just do haha). We were all having a good time dancing and then one Tico randomly asked me to dance and it was definitely a good decision! He turned about to be a Latin ballroom dance instructor!! He knew these crazy moves and was such a good leader I didn't have to think about anything and I felt like I pro! He was twisting me and turning me and picking me up and down!! I felt like I was on Dancing With the Stars of something! It was really really fun!

So classes ended fairly well. I am not sure what I got in the class, but that is ok. I feel like I learned a lot and the was the goal in the first place. I am still pretty nervous about going to Mexico. I feel like I will be able to get by fairly well, but I am nervous the Angelina (the midwife) will be frustrated that I am not fluent or something... I don't know. It is kind of superficial, but it is just a fear that I have. I just really want her to like me! hahaha :)

I can't believe I am going to Mexico tomorrow!!! I am excited to see my dad and to start a new adventure. It is going to be so hard to leave here though... The longer I am here the more I want to come back. I thought four weeks would feel really long, but it was the fastest four weeks of my life!

Please be praying for my safety in Mexico and my Espanol (por favor!). I miss you all and I can't wait to tell you how Mexico is!
