Story

College is coming to an end. It's crazy and scary, yet exciting.

So for now, I am holding on to this place and making more of these memories.

Tonight, we went on a GUYRAD. (Loma language for Get Your Roomate A Date). Naturally, Peter took me. Smores, bonfire, talking, playing in the water.

It is inevitable. Most of these people I will never see again after I walk through that Greek. For now, I am holding on to them and soaking up every bit of their story.

Day 1: Cab, bus, walk, hitch hike...


Headed out of the hostel early this morning to jump on a cab, run to a bus, ride the bus for four hours. This may sound like but I enjoyed the chance to sit back and ride the city bus with the Ticos. Some headed to work, some were going to see family.

We got to the QERC station (below) where we are staying. I see kids that live along the side bank and I am sure by the end, I will be playing with them. For now, I am off to explore. For the next few days, there will be hikes, waterfalls, catching animals, night hikes, delicious food, people, Spanish, and so many adventures with Peter.

Off to Central America

I'm heading off today to Central America in the land of Costa Rica.
I am there to see what Peter saw, did, how he lived, the people he met, and the place he fell in love with.

I am there to see the country of people besides my own. To dive deeply into the things that are way different than home.
The food.
The weather.
The pace of life.

I am there to sit still in that big large forest and see God's fingerprints everywhere.


I am there to see and I can't wait...

Pictures soon

Quirky


Today I was driving home from my brother's birthday dinner. That's right he turned 16 and got his license... :)

Happy Birthday to him!!!!

Anyways, I started thinking about all of the fun games I play in my head that no one ever gets to experience. I thought I would share a few...

1. I constantly see if it is possible for me to get ready in the morning completely head to toe. It is harder then it sounds.

2. Hanging my hand out the window and try to play my air-piano to whatever music is on. (Disclaimer: I do not know how to play the piano, so this is all off instinct lol)

3. I try to count and memorize the amount of steps needed to get a place. If I can remember and it is exactly the same that time, I feel as though I earned a few gold scores. I swear there is a score board in my head somewhere.

4. I try to get the same amount of steps between every crack in the sidewalk. Sometimes this results in one large step or a little step and then I feel bad that I cheated myself.

5. I try to match the exact speed with any slow car next to me on Mast (as in the speed limit slow) just the speeders behind us can not get through. It feels good to help a fellow citizen follow the rules:)

6. I giggle when a really tall person turns around and completely does not see me until they end up running into me. For some reason this does not bother me, but I actually get a huge kick out of it. Common occurrence in the Caf might I add.

Those are just a few of my games. I don't know why but they are like brain candy. I feel so good up in their after a round of one of these.

It's almost Friday...Hang in there folks and maybe try a little brain game or two. A secret hidden game that you play with yourself.
