Inbioparque

Today was another great day! Some friends and I went to Inbioparque (kind of by accident, we thought it was a place to hike), which was a place to walk around and see animals - kind of like a zoo except more natural, because not everything was in cages. We saw TONS of awesome animals and plants: snakes, lizards, sloths, giant iguanas, crazy looking insects, frogs, bunnies, baby cows and goats, beautiful birds, etc.
I even saw a GLASSWING BUTTERFLY, which just amazed me because they're rare and I've always thought they were extremely beautiful in pictures I've seen online. Now I have my own!

I'm not a botanist, so I'll just call this "spiny tree."

Creepy spider!

School is still going well. My Spanish is definitely improving because I've been practicing as much as possible and hassling everyone to correct me when I make mistakes. I actually prefer speaking in Spanish because it's more of a challenge but not impossible. With English, I don't really have to think (the best analogy I can give here is driving a stick rather than an automatic - more to think about.) In class today we watched a movie and played a trivia game. After that we had dance class, where we learned salsa and some meringue.

I cannot believe my trip is almost halfway over! It's flying by, but I'm having the time of my life here :)

Switzerland!

Image
I was able to see quite a bit of this beautiful country! Need to return for more of the Swiss alps (Zermatt area). View of Lake Zurich. This summer, I finally made it to Switzerland! For years, my mom and I have promised our former foreign exchange students we would come visit them.  In June, I met my mom in Zurich (she was "on the way" home from a vacation to South Africa) where we were greeted by Silvia, one of our former students and friends.  We went up to the top of a hill in Zurich, overlooking the lake and city.  Turned out this was just the beginning of our adventures with her - Silvia was an excellent tour guide, and she found some spectacular places to take us hiking and exploring. We also met her sweet boyfriend Iwan , who loved telling us the history behind a lot of the architecture and churches we drove by. They even cooked us a traditional Swiss meal called Raclette , which we devoured in their home in front of their HUGE aquarium. Toward the end of

Rappeling and Tortuguero weekend trip

Image
Friday morning I went rappeling... do wn a waterfall! Once again, I had to face my fear of heights (t he waterfall was 60 meters t all), and I had a lot of fun. (After bungee jumping, it really wasn't that scary) I didn't reall y know what to expect, but it sounded fun so I signed up and volunt eered to go first from my group. As you can see f ro m t he p icture, it was extremely beautiful. Operating the rope to descend was a little unnatural, but I m ade it down with no problem. After desce nding, we had to take a short hike up the mountain to get back to our car. I ran into some interesting butterflies and crazy looking caterpillars on a tree. This weekend I went to Tortuguero , a beautiful National Park located on the Carribb ean side of the country. Getting to Tortuguero took a while because we had to take 2 buses and a boat through the canal, but the ride was relaxing and we caught some animals on the way. We also stopped at a banana plantation to learn a little

Mariposas: A metaphor for human transformation

Image
Yesterday morning we went to the butterfly farm in town... I'll let the pictures do the talking for this one. It was one of the most amazing things I've EVER seen, seriously. My new friend :) In flight Halloween Butterfly Butterflies have a very short lifespan: 5 days to 2 weeks, at most. From this... To this! At different stages... The ones just hanging there are drying their wings, getting ready for flight. They like banana and mango just as much as we do! These guys can cost up to $5 each if you wanted to buy them as cocoons. Soo... next time you go to a zoo and see some butterflies like these, keep in mind they were probably imported! Anyway, everything else has been going well for the most part. The food is s till super delicious (a sundae I had at a local cafe on the right!) but it does give me quite a stomach ache. Class is really fun. Yesterday we played "Taboo" in Spanish and talked about whatever. Our teacher is very lenient and mostly lets us talk ab
