One Month down, Three to go.

Firstly, I apologize for not being proactive in my blog postings, as you may know, I'll be incredibly busy this month. However, I know you all love hearing about what I am doing so I'll make an effort to post a blog every couple of weeks.

I've finished my Spanish course (THANK THE LORD) and have started my series of elective classes. I'm taking some interesting courses such as: Creative Leadership Skills, Contemporary Latin American History, and International Marketing and Management. 

This month I am going on a series of excursions every weekend with my program. This weekend we went on some day trips.

On Saturday we went to Poas Volcano and La Paz waterfall tour. We were unable to see Poas because of the cloud cover (bummer). However, La Paz was spectacular and the weather was beautiful! Before we did the waterfall tour we got to see various amounts of tropical animals and butterflies! There are pictures of this day on my Facebook.

On Sunday we went zip lining! We got the opportunity to zip line across 12 different lines throughout the cloudy tropical forest. One of the lines was called the "Tarzan swing" and we were attached to a line and flung out into the open forest, most terrifying and amazing experience ever! The last line we did was called the "Superman." We lay on our stomachs attached to a harness and zip lined 200 feet above the forest floor. It was the closest I've ever been to flying!

This coming weekend we have an excursion to Puerto Viejo, a beach on the caribbean. I'm especially excited for that because I've been getting paler since I've been here....

Below is a picture of me zip lining!

Until next time :)
