On Monday, December 3rd, headed to another campus of my Spanish school - this time on the beach! Knew I'd love it when the commute was 40 min walk on the beach on the school had a swimming pool. A lot more students here than the other locations - probably not the best for learning but a lot of fun. The school ran out of host families so I had to rough it in a hotel with AC and 2 pools.
Met another great group of friends - Merit, Chris, Agathe, Sabrina and Kim. Spent a lot of time on the beach and at the pool - too hot to do much else. Over the weekend we did a road-trip to Samara, another beach ~2 hr drive with tons of great restaurants, bars and surfing - great place!
Monday we went with Merit's Tico brother and amigos to a fiesta. Not sure what they call it but started with bull riding and ended up more like bull annoying. The rider would fall off and then a bunch of teenagers would run around trying to get the bull to chase them - better than killing it right?? Afterwards we did some shameful karaoke performances and then danced the night away on a parking lot they converted into a disco for the night.
For the weekend we headed up to the mountains - a completely different side of Costa Rica. After a great hike up to a catarata (waterfall) and a swim in the hot springs we relaxed and watched the sunset into the sea.
