Wow, just slept for 13 hours. Thank you, Tylenol PM.

Only a week left here and then I get to spend 14 hours in airports and cars to return to the TX boondocks. =] I'm so excited. lol I never thought I'd say that about returning to Paris, Texas; but I miss my family so much. My dad, my brother, my roomie, and of course Dawg. biggrin

I'll see you soon my little fuzzy mush puff!

GOD. Can I please go home now? I really really really really really really really really don't like my uncle.

He likes to play this annoying game called "how loud can I possibly be???"

I don't like overly loud people.

Allllllllrighty then, let's try this again.

Got back from my very short trip to Candela which is a really small border town of Costa Rica and Panama. My uncle's wife, Katte, grew up there and her family owns a HUGEEEE coffee farm with like 30 acres of land. TOTAL immersion in Spanish lol No one there speaks any English. I was only there for the night but wow it was a great way to really get back into speaking total Spanish. I think I did pretty good. I carried on convos and stuffs. But anyways.. Hito and Karol are Katte's family also and Hito grew up in Costa Rica so he gave us this bad ass tour of all these crazy places he used to go to as a kid.

I think I'll just skip to the pics now.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Katte, pretending to ride Marvin's moto. =p

zoom image
This is in Costa Rica, but it's this huge field that Hito's family owns and all the people from the mountain come in Dec. to celebrate (because Dec. is summer for them).

zoom image
Then he took us to the HUGE tree that is like two trees in one. The outer one ate the inside one and then it kind of died or something on the inside so it's all hollow.

zoom image
"So yeah... Rachel climb it!" lmao alllllright! biggrin

zoom image

zoom image
The inside looking up!

zoom image
Hito at the bottom

zoom image
This is when we played Hand Off the Camera

zoom image

zoom image
Outside the tree looking out at Masiel, Katte's mama in the giant field of wild berries biggrin

zoom image
Then Hito's cousin showed up and Katte, so we all started climbing =]

zoom image
Kimberly, Hito and Karol's daughter. This kid is only 7 and is SUPER smart, which is also the thing that really freaks me out about her... Weird kid lmao

zoom image
Marvin and Hito's cousin climbed to the very top. I got about half way and then turned around. It's a lonnnng drop to the bottom. eeek

zoom image
You can't really see them, but they're up there. woooooooo that's a big ass tree to climb to the top of..

zoom image
Masiel and Hitito. =] This woman cracks me up beyond all reason.

zoom image
Me on the moto lmao I got to ride this thing later. biggrin

zoom image
Then Hito took us to this old (pretty much abandoned) hotel called La Amistad. It's closed most of the time and you need a reservation to go there and stay the night. But it's kind of a bed and breakfast thing. This is the plant that is right next to the hotel where they manufacture LOTS of fruits and coffee.

zoom image
A really big turbine used to make coffee.

zoom image
Hito, Kate, and I

zoom image
The front of the hotel. The guys that were working at the plant let us take a look around for free! Even though there was no one there which is even cooler in my eyes.

zoom image
Kimberly, Kate, Me, and Karol biggrin

zoom image
LMAO! That's Kate! biggrin Love that girl, my new BFF for life

zoom image
Kimberly, Kate, and I

zoom image
All of Karol's family. Karol is Kate's sister.

zoom image
=]

zoom image
There were grapes all over the ceiling lattice used for making wine. Goooooood grapes!

zoom image
Kimberly actually took this picture!

zoom image
Kate and I biggrin

zoom image
Then Hito took us down this road right behind the coffee plant..

zoom image
This is a river that all the Indigenous use to bathe in. It's cold as FUCK

zoom image
It all spills down into a water fall love

zoom image
This was cool, standing on the edge of a cliff. =] Pictures can't capture the beauty. Especially when you're using a shitty point and shoot. lol

zoom image
And last but not least, the chanchos at the finca. =]



So all in all this was one of the best days I've had in my life. =] Not to mention Kate and I went out to a Costa Rican bar and danced all night, got free weed, and free drinks. biggrin

I love these people and I'm so honored that I got the opportunity to come here. It really showed me a different take on the world and how other people live. AND HOW SPOILED WE ALL ARE IN THE STATES! lol It's really a great thing to see all these people and how happy they are with things that would make others very depressed. It's alllllll relative and it really helps you count your blessings and not take everything for granted.

Wow.. Today was going so well.. =[

Now I'm drunk and mourning my poor little adopeted doggy that I had here. He got run over by a car today and died under the bush near outside the bakcyard.. =[[[[[[[[[

I cried a lot. He was my little baby and reminded me of my dog back home. and now he's dead. But I'll continue to love him forever. He was an awesome dog.

I remember when he would come over to me and just lay his head on my lap and sit there for hours. He was one of the sweetest dogs I've ever come across.

<3 you Novio.

May you always live on in doggy heaven.

So I've started to take up an active interest in cross stitching again. lmao I haven't picked one up for about 5 years. I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder. lol Sometimes I feel like such an old woman. I have the weirdest interest in things, but oh well! I made a pattern from a Salvador Dali painting that I've always liked, so it's not boring at all. I don't see how people can do the ones that are borders or all one color. That would drive me nuts. lol

And on another note, I'm going river rafting on the Cherokee River next weekend! WOO! This might be one of the last times that people can raft there because they're going to start building a dam in a few months. So I'm pretty excited about that.

And of course I'm excited about going home the following weekend and seeing my Dawg and family. biggrin biggrin biggrin

Then it's back to the grind. I need to find a jorb and start making that dolla!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. kiss

There's really nothing more that pisses me off as much as when people try and dictate how I think.

Two more weeks. Two more weeks. Two more weeks...
