Thia last week I have been up on the mountain in the Groups office, doing what I can. I will say that it has been frustrating to say the least, as there is only so much I can do. But it has been nice not having a group and this week I have spent quality time with my room-mate and co-workers, and it has been great to renew friendships and have girl time.
On Sunday I met with a girl who came three years ago as a high school student in a group...! She is now in college and doing a seven week study abroad program in Costa Rica, and contacted me and wanted to touch base. How amazing to see her again, how touching that she remembered me and wanted to see me again! It was a really good visit and we had fun.
Tonight is pizza night with some chicas from the office...this week I know I have gained at least 5 lbs with all the good food and being in the office instead of running around with a group!
The only downer this week has been the rain and cold weather every day.
It looks like I will be in Heredia for the next couple weeks helping out the other chaperones and helping to hold down the fort in some small way. I am definately looking forward to getting of the mountain, especially since it has been so cold and chilly lately, like winter is really settling in. Today the sun is up (at least for now,) so I am sitting in the window trying to soak up as much as I can...!!! I would really just like to go back to my casita and relax there with E for a few days, but no such luck! I'm busy working and he is enjoying his last few days on la Isla del Coco.
Looking forward to August when I can slow down and be with family and friends back in the US of A...until then, soldier on!
Pura Vida
