Last week/weekend in Costa Rica

---

I survived my presentation and the rest of finals last week. Hopefully everything went well.

Friday at 5 am Rachel, Ashley and I took the bus for 5.5 hours to Manuel Antonio National Park. We stayed in a hostel- my first time staying in one. It was actually fairly nice- dorm room style with one set of bathrooms for everyone. I was surprised. Manuel Antonio is how I imagined all of Costa Rica to be, so beautiful.

We spent the day enjoying the sun on the beach. Around 5 we decided to get surfing lessons! It was actually a lot easier than I thought it was going to be, but I know I couldn't do it without the guy telling me which wave I need to get up on and pushing me. So much fun surfing in the sunset!

The next morning I went for a run on the beach, we laid by the pool at our hostel, shopped around, ate breakfast/lunch and headed back to San Ramon at 5 PM and got here around 10.

Today I am planning on doing something with my host family, but right now my host mom is at work. I am mostly packed and ready to go for Tuesday.
