Half Way Through....

Im not sure if Im gonna be able to come home! Its so exciting to be so unsure of what the heck youre doing all the time! We went to see All the Kings Men last night. It was in English with spanish subtitles, but I was so preoccupied with reading the subtitles and thinking of all the grammar that I think I missed alot of the movie. So weŕe at the end of our second week of school! Weŕe leaving tomorrow morning for the town of Quepos, which is on the pacific coast, next to Manuel Antonio National Park. Hopefully we can go to the beach and get some sun! We still look like pale americans! I was just telling Dawn last night how its such a cool experience to be a foreigner. To be the one that looks different than everyone. Its very humbling to have to ask for help and look like a dumbass most of the time. I just cant believe I didnt do this earlier. Ok, I totally miss fresh vegetables though! The food from our host mom is just really unhealthy, and kinda boring. I think the only food idea Ill take away from this is more fresh fruit juice. Ah, well. Despite how much I love this place, I miss you all very much! Much love from the fabulous country of Costa Rica, B

I cant believe you have been there two weeks?!? Its one of those things -seem so short seems so long-I know you guys dont have alot of money to burn-but you have to ask a local-mabye one of your teachers where to go eat to get some good local food-it would break my heart to see your leave there not experiecing some yumminess-I saw a tv show about this guy traveling costa rica-and he ate fresh fruit from stands outside the city and i saw what chocolate is made out of for the fist time-ick-talk about not so much! keep you skin protected in the forest -ive seen some other things on that old tube about rainforests too-hopefully none will hold true there-Love to you all-Spread His Love-Laura

El thouht I usted me dijo que sobre emigrar a través de la selva con un machete, seguramente usted podría encontrar algo fresco para comer si usted va profundamente bastante. ¡en el medio tiempo goce de las habas y arroz, acabo de comer un filete agradable para el almuerzo con risotto cremoso y amor cocido al vapor fresco de veggies. usted!

yeah! I also saw the show Laura was talkin about and the guy went to a coffee farm, where the coffee was sooooo fresh! They put it in some cheesecloth and let it drip into a cup and drank it, he said it was amazing! So I would hope you should be able to find some good bean there! How bout bringing some this way too!!!! Misses and kisses, the Kris's

When do you guys come home again? There is a memorial service at church on the 4th from 7-8:30 for lost loved ones...we could all go and cry and miss our mom OR maybe you guys come home then and we could have a big welcome home party and drink coffee and stay up all night to hear your tall tales!
