For the first part of Spring Break Elisa and I traveled 6 hours on the bus from San Jose to Dominical. I have never been as hot as I was on the bus ride and during our three days in Dominical at any other point in my life. Every night I took a cold shower and was so thankful that we did not have hot water. Crazy!
During our time in Dominical we spent many hours on the beach as well as time zip-lining and horseback riding to the waterfalls. Zip-lining in Dominical was very different from Monteverde. The lines were a lot shorter, but faster and much more eco-friendly. Our guides told us all about the woods around us as we walked up to the first platform. The most interesting fact that I learned was you can use Leaf-Cutter Ants as stitches!
After traveling to Dominical I flew from San Jose to Charlotte to surprise Taylor! Taylor seriously had no idea that I was coming home-but everyone else did. While at home I got to hang out with Sarah and Claire as well as my family. Thursday Sarah met my grandparents when we met them for lunch! John-Paul was our trusted choffer to and from North Lake. On our way back home from North Lake we somehow ended up halfway to Columbia, South Carolina!! We had driven an hour past our exit in Charlotte because we were telling stories, laughing and not paying attention to the road.
Saturday I got to watch Taylor play in her lacrosse game against Charlotte Latin and it was AWESOME! Taylor had a little fan club on the sidelines of friends and family.
Coming back was strange. It is nice to be back in Costa Rica where the sun is always shining, but it was definitely hard to leave my family and friends again. I am looking forward to this last month here-there are so many trips left to go on! This weekend I will be in Nicaragua with the whole group for our Visa trip!
