I rappelled a 130 foot waterfall today!

(Sorry! I just realized this had an error and didn't publish when I wrote it last thursday)

And 5 smaller ones (pictures coming soon). And went on a 4 hour nature walk where I saw spider monkeys, toucans, quetzals, a sloth (whose name here literally translates to "Lazy"), and a bunch of other animals whose names I can't remember. The picture below is of the friend im traveling with and I at the continental divide durin our hike. Today was mothers day in CR, which is a national holiday, so school was closed! It's nice that the government appreciates moms so much. I think it's a great idea (hi mom!). I wonder if they do the name for fathers day. If not, they should (hi dad!). 

Anyways, we decided to take advantage of an extra free day to fit it lots of activities, but now I'm exhausted and still have to do all my homework. Luckily I found a really nice spot in a cafe with wifi and tried to order a lemonade but somehow ended up with something green and icy and way better. See picture below! With all this English today, I'm feeling a little guilty so I'm going to have to step up my Spanish game tonight with my host family. Ok. That's all for now- tiempo para hacer mi tarea! Oh, yesterday we went on a fantastic tour of an organic farm that grows coffee, sugar cane and chocolate. I learned so much about the process of making all three. And it turns out that I actually do like 100% cocoa. Who says bitter is bad! Ok. Working for real now. Mucho gusta!
