Playa Conchal

Hola!

Yesterday Alysia and I went to Playa Conchal with some friends from school. It is so beautiful and clean. The beach nearest our school is mirkier so it was great to see the clear waters of the Pacific Ocean and the white sandy beach. We all got lots of sun, but by 12 pm is was raining (of course)! Luckily, we found a plot on the beach right in front of a gorgeous hotel. So, when it rained we ran over to the nice hotel and had a wonderful lunch and cocktails. After lunch the rain stopped and some of my friends snuck into the beautiful pool at the hotel and I snuck into the showers for a warm, clean shower. Our bus picked us up at 3pm right after the tide came in so we had to walk through this really yucky, trashy, brown water. It totally ruined my shower!!! I am such a princess (we all know that though and my Mother likes to remind me). I get it from her;-)

Today, we started our second week of class. We only have three more days left, but so much more to learn. We'll have to practice a lot when we return. I have new teachers and am learning new information every day. Alysia is too, but she is more advanced than I am so she will be my teacher when we get home. I also was able to wash clothes today so I am feeling a little cleaner and recharged. I never realized how much I love clean clothes. Alysia and I also had to pay our departure tax today. Yes, you do have to pay $26 to leave Costa Rica. Funny, huh? Our roommate Emma made us dinner tonight and it was really delicious. We have tons left so we will eat it for lunch tomorrow, too. Don't worry parents we're eating a lot!! But not as many veggies as we would like.

Hopefully, I'll have more to write tomorrow but I have to go to bed because we think we're old ladies and can't keep up with the college students partying next door. Hopefully, we can sleep without having to call the Costa Rican police (joke). 

Hasta luego!
