4.....The 4s of Costa Rica

4...The 4s of Costa Rica

(a kind of silly post for y'all)

I have been here almost 4 months.

I only have 4 classes of my once-weekly classes left.

I only have 4 weekends left of my “vacation.”

4x2=8 and I rode the bus for 8 hours last Friday.

I ate 4 American meals last weekend at the beach: 2 hot dogs (Costa Rican style with fresh pineapple relish), an amazing hamburger and fries, and macaroni and cheese (not Kraft, but a delicious off-brand).

4 hours…the amount of time I assumed it would take to travel across the small country of CR and that I have learned is not the truth!

4 minutes…the walk from my house to my bus stop and the walk from my bus stop to UNA.

I go to the gym 4 days a week.

Three of my classes are once a week for 4 hours each time….4 hour classes are not meant for me!

The 4 seasons that I have not experienced here….Costa Rica has two seasons. We have winter and summer or the rainy season and not rainy season.

4 day weekends J I do not have classes on Fridays or Mondays so I have long “vacation” weekends.

4 cardinal directions…in the States I always use a GPS or my dad gives me directions based upon landmarks. While the directions in Costa Rica are given by landmarks, people are always giving directions with the cardinal directions. So, I have become a cardinal direction pro!

Two weekends ago I went to the Enrique Iglesias concert with friends. We had a wonderful time!

Pura Vida Mini Hostel, Tamarindo

If every hostel is like this one, I am MADE for hostel life. The dorm room had air conditioning, the facilities were spotless, and I made some really good friends!

First meal in Tamarindo.....homemade eggrolls and a mango, spinach, and pineapple smoothie.

I was super excited to swim through the entire sunset.

Tamarindo, my new favorite beach.

Always reppin' Queens

How am I so lucky to be in a jungle, a desert (as it feels to me!), and at a beach all at the same time?!
