my first host famil
they were soo nice, im gona miss themsorry for not posting in a while but i have been really busy that olast couple of days. so ill start from wednesday. well weds. started off as one of the worst days of the trip! i went to sleep around ten, and woke up at about 5 or so. As i got up i noticed my eye felt a little strange, so i looked in the mirror, and saw that my eye was completely swollen, exactly how a boxers eye is after a a long 12 rounds. i was panicking but did nothing about it, i went to take a shower and the water was colder than ever.as the day progressed my eye got better and so did the day. After school we all went ziplining, which was reallly fun, the only thing was that it was raining very hard. ziplining was was one of the best things i have done so far, we were strapped into a harnest, hundreds of feet into the air going over the jungle, and seeing cool animals on the way, some cables went really fast. there was also a tarzan swing which was really cool as well. i was at first nervous about it
because what it is is similar to bungee jumping, you're not as high, but you are high! once they put the harnest on you you walk up to the platform at about 200 hundred feet in the air and jump right off, as if you were commiting suicide, lol i really felt as if i was attempting to commit suicide. once you jump off and are about 50 feet from the ground, instead of going straight back up like you would when bungee jumping, it swings you back and forth. it was intense and ill admit that i was screaming when i jumped off! after that some of us went downtown to eat. i had some pizza un batido de chocolate(choc. shake) and water. LAter on we went back to the school for a salsa dancing class, which was soo funnny. friday was another fun day, but it was our last day in monteverde. we had class as usual but after that we all took a nap, and to celebrate our last day in monteverde we ALL including our teacher went to a discoteca. so on saturday we left our houses to meet at 730 am. and went on our
way to Arenal, to see the volcano and stayed a night in a hotel which was veryyy nice we made a couple of stops while on our way, at one stop we were able to see monkeys playing in the tree, it was so craazy, i felt like i was at a zoo.. the hotel was probably the nicest hotel i have ever stayed at. when we got to our hotel we all went in the pool which has a beautiful view of the volcano! around 4pm we went to a hot spring close by which is basically like 10 pool sized jacuzzis, each one at a different temperature which is controlled by the volcano! then around 9 we all drove as close to the volcano as possible and we were ables to see lava shoot out, it was amazing! we went back to the hotel around 10 and everyone hungout in our room i knocked out at about 1130 but everyone said they left at around 1 ish. we where telling ghost stories, stories about bad dates, lol everything it was great! well right now its 845 pm 745 in LA. and im with a new family a new
haviing fun
at the ice cream shop city, this city is alot different than the other one i was one we werre in, for one, its much hotter, not as nice and alot more dangerous! my host parents told me to watch out for a black car and people who room with my friend that have stayed here for 6 weeks have told us that people in their room have been robbed at gunpoint at 3 pm. we are required to walk in groups when going to school, but im sure everything will be okay!
