rapidamente, entonces
regresamos a costa rica en jueves el 25 despues de 10 dias en Cuba!
Cuba=una enigma para mi
en ingles aunque estoy pensando en espanol para mi tarea : }
Cuba included scary customs ladies, old u.s. cars from before the blockade, only political advertisements, beautiful architecture, the malecon (sea wall), the most brilliant blue ocean...

we went to a local concert--so much art/music culture in cuba, the old fort to watch the shooting of the canon, heard different lectures, read, journaled, met some crazy and cute cubans of every age and shape and color, visited schools and community centers...

spent time at Varadero beach :), saw amazing artwork, danced on a rooftop, on the bus, in the street, at the beach... lots of dancing, our bus (gua gua) broke down on the way back to la habana, it was a beautiful spot, but not really planned : } also desafortunadamente, 3 girls got terribly sick and had to make a short hospital visit-- maybe food poisoning, but nothing too serious since they are all better now!

heather and paige tried unsuccessfully to catch a cat for my medio cumple for two days and then decided instead to chase chickens--I received a rooster--Gaston el gallo--for my 1/2 birthday this year!

Got a very annoying virus the last day of the trip and now it's still going, but I have been able to dar de cuerpo finally : } anyhow, not feeling so hot, but trying to be all ready set for the next phase of the adventure that is Latin America!

Spent some time with my host family and my friends here in San Jose with enough time to wash clothes, pack, and make banana bread and wild rice minestrone before leaving for grecia (the town not the country, to avoid confusion) for the rest of the semester. Sad to leave my great family, but it's time, so here we go!
