okay, okay. NO MORE EXCUSES!

Deal. I promise to blog EVERYDAY for one week. That cool? Starting NOW. GO!


I know I am a super slacker but life is packed here! Pretty much last week on Thursday my mom came to visit! It was so nice to see her and I'm super glad that she was able to come. Although I don't think Costa Rica was what she expected, I think she enjoyed herself. All the bus rides and walking was really foreign to her since in the States you pretty much drive everywhere (which on that note, I hope I dont forget how to drive?!). So we went to Quepos which is a little town about 3 miles from the beach and stayed until Sunday and then hung out in Heredia (the province/town) I live in. It was super fun hanging out with her and showing her how differently life is here. I'm pretty sure I said "I don't know, It's culture" every 3.2 seconds. It was nice to see her and to see her in Costa Rica but it was a super fast paced crazy adventure. When she left to day I was super sad but luckily I have super awesome friends who know how to cheer me up! I have some pictures of what we did:




hung out with my crazy TICA sister :) my mom fit right in!

hugged of course :)

saw beautiful landscapes.

ate together in our 'fancy' hotel.

watched the sunset ( or is it watch the sun set?) whatevs.

chilled on the beach.

watched some surfers.

and hung out with this little guy, isn't he sweet?
ALSO, I got some super sweet (and when I say sweet, I mean sweet) packages from my brother and his family and my mom! Here they are full of everything I could ever want:


package full of sweets, letters, books, jewelry, mac n cheese and A PEDOMETER from my brother (basically my awesome sister in law;) ! )
some Dr. Quinn to watch with my host mom and pictures from my sweet niece!

CD's, granola bars and MORE candy from my mom!

oh, and of course some of my necessities, HAIR PRODUCTS :) they are expensive here and I use a TON!
Mom also brought me more JEANS from my house (THANK GOODNESS) and craisins :) Oh, how she knows me.. Now to eat (and share) all these yummy sweets my mom sent me!
