Making Dulce

Here's a video of the sugar cane juice bubbling away to make all sorts of delicious dulce. In fact, enough to put you in a dulce coma....

Because I still refuse to be a tourist

Here are some pictures of my family (my sister, brother, and mother), and a picture of the kinder that I "teach" at.

I'm Lazy or Really Busy

Its been about a month since my last post, and that was just about missing paint, so I will give you all another update. I'm still teaching the kiddies in the primary school. They are overall pretty amazing kids, and I really am falling in love with all of them. I will start teaching the adults in September and having my first real meeting this Wednesday about the class. I am also trying to put in an aqueduct system for my school, and possibly for my community (as I always say: Vamos a ver!). Life has been fairly tranquilo, although as always busy. I saw my first real poisonous snake, it was dead so don't worry about my life being in danger, and my family still refuses to tell me what will happen if the big black spiders bite me (all I can get out of them is they aren't dangerous because I can kill them with my shoe). I'm continuing on my rice and bean diet and failed at convincing my sister that Italian seasoning tastes really good in spaghetti because spaghetti is, well, Italian. I will be baking cookies this weekend too. And for all the women in my life: Happy Mother's Day from Costa Rica. I can't give you all a call and tell you that you are amazing people who have taught me so much and will continue to teach me and be amazing support. I love you all so much!
