Day 6: Friday, August 7th So, change of plans. I switched my rafting and zipling plans to next Saturday so over the weekend I went with 9 other girls to the Arenal Volcano! I'm so happy I went because it's definitely something I wanted to do and something I wouldn't be doing in my last week of travel. It was the best weekend I've ever had! Literally. We took a 4 hour bus ride North towards La Fortuna. It was the most gorgeous scenary I have ever seen. It was so...

Day 5: Thurday, August 6th Last night 2 of my roommates and I walked up the street for some ice cream. Living in San Jose is so much fun! Ive got the bus system down. All your essentials are at your fingertips. Although things are small and run down, it is a simple way of living. I love it. Ive made so many awesome friends here.

After flying by myself to Spain, I had no worries about flying here. The only part that made me nervous was the airport pickup. But I figured that would all work out just fine and if not, hey, Im sure I would have m...

DAYS 62-68 Day 62: Monday, March 3rd 2014 Today I met in the chapel with the brother and sister missionaries and Melisa for lunch. We made rice and lentils, little crunchy flour bites, snacked on chips and played chess and uno. It was really fun and I like spending time with people my age. One Elder missionary is from Arizona so it's nice having someone who speaks English and I can actually speak normal. (That's one thing I miss is talking at my own speed) I ne...
