I'm CCCCCCCCCooold!!!!!!!

What????? Can you believe it's "cold" here? I have been wearing sweaters and sleeping with blankets. Really in Kansas City or Colorado 60 degrees would be very comfortable but here...it's really chilly. I can't believe that I'm wearing sweatshirts and sweaters in Costa Rica. I'm sure glad I brought a few long sleeve shirts. I guess in a month or so it will get much warmer. The rain stops and the sun comes out all the time. I can't wait. I sure miss the sun. There's a spiritual picture in there somewhere, eh?

Learning 3 Languages

Yes, I said 3. Not only am I learning Spanish as a second language and I am learning Canadian. I have 3 people from Canada in my classes. And actually all of them are becoming really good friends of ours But I am noticing something that keeps coming out of my mouth as a result of being around them. It's a 2 letter word that can used all the time if want. It's a great word, "eh"? It's a great day, "eh"? It's a little cool, "eh"? Endless options, "eh"?

(p.s. the 3rd language is English, I have found out from my grammar in Spanish how much I am learning about English grammar. I must have missed a few days in my grammar classes in English)

To the Beach, To the Beach, To the Beach

We had a great opportunity to get away this past weekend. We went with four other couples from school to the Pacific Ocean. The resort we went to was all inclusive and had a private beach, great swimming pools for the girls. Three great meals a day with the monkeys right at our side.

We unforntunately found out the hard way how powerful the sun is here in Costa Rica. We all got burned. I forgot to put sunscreen on my lips, which is always a recipe for fever blisters. Ryan and the girls were lobsters on their bodies. So next time we will use SPF 50 and REAPPLY! Poor things!

We had a great time at the beach. But the girls had much more fun at the swimming pool. They had 2 kid pools that were just perfect for our girls. The weather was just perfect the whole time we were there.
