Been living for the weekends! The weeks are going really fast, and almost every weekend weve been heading to San Jose with a group of guys who are from the city. Fabio has an amazing house up in the hills with a perfect view of the city lights below... and its so nice to just hang out on his porch, listen to music and have a few beers. Although this last time it turned into playing Kings Cup and losing a few too many bets/drinking shots of disgusting alcohol... haha.

Hanging at Fabios

Two weekends ago, all 8 of us loaded up in Fabios VW van on a Saturday morning and headed to Playa Hermosa-a beach on the Pacific side. Its the first time Id been over there and it was beautiful! Sun sun sun and sand so hot it would fry your feet if you werent carfeful. Pretty entertaining to watch people trying to make it from the water back up to the shade of the palm trees-we all just started racing as fast as we could between the shade and the water! I just layed out all day as the boys surfed, then watched the sunset on the beach. So perfect. We all spent the night at Danielas condo in Jaco-it sleeps 7 normally and we were 14! haha so we had people on blow up mattresses everywhere, including the back porch. Sunday was another day in the sun, and we ate at a really cute little restaurant on the beach before heading back to Fabios, then back to EARTH. Totally felt like we were on vacation, so its always back to reality on Sunday night when I realize I have to get up for work the next morning!

Start of the trip!

We stopped at a bridge on the drive to the beach...and there were about 12 HUGE crocs under it!!

Sooo nice...


Somewhere along the way, I lost rock/paper/scissors with Luis and the bet was that I couldnt wash my hair for a week. Hardest thing ever!! These guys are serious about their betting so I couldnt really go back on my word. Spent the whole week just trying all kinds of ways to do my hair to hide that it was definitely dirty...and everyone joking with me all week that they heard people in my office talking about my hair...rude! haha So the first thing I did when I woke up at Fabios last Sunday was to wash my hair! Best feeling ever.

In San Jose the day I got to wash my hair :)

Had an EARTH weekend this weekend and just hung out and relaxed. Luis and I went for a bike ride yesterday. I thought it would probably just be a leisurely bike ride, but it started raining and we ended up taking this seriously rocky trail completely uphill for about an hour...we were COVERED in mud and it was so fun to ride right through the huge muddy puddles of water and just get dirty. The way down was way more fun-dont think I had to pedal once!

All the girls left on Friday for Panama to renew their Visa and take a mini vacation. Im staying about 2.5 months longer, so I have to wait longer before I can renew mine...and Ive decided to go home for a week in April! It will be so nice to stock up on some things and see friends and family :)
