This past weekend, I went to Manuel Antonio, a top tourist destination, with about 12 other students. We stayed in a hostel and just hung out. On Saturday, we went zip lining in the Canopy and ate the most amazing arroz con pollo. It was so great to just have a weekend off, and just relax and not have to really worry about anything. The hostel was a lot of fun – I really like meeting people from around the world and hearing their stories. We met Dan, from New Zealand, who just finished school and working at Disneyworld. He’s been traveling from Mexico to Costa Rica for six weeks and is going home to find a job in a couple of days. We met Chris and Aled, from Wales, who work together and decided to take a month off from work and just travel. Sophie and Liz are nurses from Denver, CO who are just in Costa Rica for a week, enjoying some well-deserved time off. We met a girl and her boyfriend from some tiny island near Scotland who are just traveling around the world for about a year or so. There were guys from Delaware and a girl from Belgium. There was a group from Florida, and a guy from Tahoe. It was so cool to meet random people just enjoying life and traveling just like we are.
