Hey everyone!
Today I returned to San Jose safely, gracias a Dios. It was a little sad to leave my family but I will see them again next weekend since, by coincidence, our whole ACM group is going to Cahuita this coming weekend.
This whole last week in Cahuita I was volunteering at the National Park. It was a great...I got to see lots of snakes, monkeys, all kinds of lizards, and a bunch of other cool things. I walked soooo much! One day in the park I walked 14 kilometers collecting garbage, thats about 10 miles. Good thing I walked so much since my diet there was mostly white rice, bread, fried anything, and very sugary tea. It was all delicious but very unhealthy! They also make their rice and beans with coconut milk which is really yummy.
Last night it rained so hard in Cahuita, I dont think I have ever experienced rain like that. We all suddenly remembered that all of the 9 puppies were outside in that rain! When we went to go check on them, the mama was already moving them one by one underneath the porch to protect them...amazing how nature is!
Last night the little kids were all helping me pack and running around like crazy people. It was so different to arrive at my house in San Jose today to the quietness of Flor in the kitchen and Alex sleeping on the couch. Quite a contrast. I just cannot believe how different San Jose is from Cahuita and the whole Limon province. I honestly feel like I am in a different country again. Every thing is different...the food, the language, the volume that people talk, the dress, every thing.
Anyways, tomorrow we are all going to get together from ACM to share stories about our rural stays so that should be fun. Im out for the night with my host brother! Ciao!
