Monday started with the normal breakfast and dishes routine; however, Donald had left for work before I made it downstairs at 6:50 so I wasn't sure what my job for the day was. As I started to head back up to my room Xinia gave me my task. I was ... Read more >

Saturday started early again at 4:30am but I had much less anxiety about the trip to Manuel Antonio. It was the same bus that I took to Domincal last weekend. I got up and ready and walked to the first bus stop, the correct road this time. ... Read more >

The week started out slow only due to the fact I could barely move. When I woke up Monday morning and tried to roll over the sunburn on my thighs was burning. Rather than getting up and setting the table and having breakfast, part of my morning ... Read more >
