Last weekend, I had the awesome opportunity to join my family and their youth group in attending camp in Sarchi, Costa Rica. I had a wonderful time and was able to make friends with many Ticos (Costa Ricans). My host brothers attended the camp and my host parents helped out at it. We played similar games as we would in the states like "Capture the Flag" and various ice breaker games. The food was amazing! (My mama tica helped make it). We also had a bon fire with worship and later roasting of marshmellows. And to the end the night we watched the newest version of Karate Kid in spanish, which to my surprise, I could understand. . . save the fact that I fell asleep about 30 minutes in it. What else? I got 20 or so bug bights (I'm legitimately unsure if that's spelled right) on my leg, so I wore jeans this week like everyone else here does!
Class is going great! I have finals for my first 3 credit class of Spanish this week. It's insane how fast these classes go. As you can tell, I don't have much to type. I am having an amazing time, but of course I miss my family and friends.
Pura vida, Erin
