Things down here have been awesome, as usual. We went to the Poás Volcano last Friday, which was really fun - it was insane; the clouds rolled in and out so fast that the crater could be completely clear one second and within literally 5 seconds, you were in the middle of a fog bank. Here are a few pictures, and a video so you can see how fast the clouds were moving and how windy it was.

^^^^^THIS IS A VIDEO. You can click it to go to the album and watch it; I think it's worth it just to experience (kind of) how windy it was and how insane the clouds were.

So we went to the crater and then hiked a little bit through the trails; it was steep, and jesus christ am I getting out of shape. I can't wait to hear back from the local barn so I can get back to work. Lord knows I need something to do!!
So then after the volcano, Tatiana and Katie and I went shopping in San Jose - our first solo trip!! I don't have pictures because I sure as hell wasn't bringing my nice camera into san jose. But we made it there OK and didn't die!! And I got two nice tops to wear to clubs for under 20 bucks. LOVE cheap clothes. Midget, if you're reading this, we're going shopping in San Jose when you come visit. Bring money.
Saturday night we went to Nati's birthday party - it was tons of fun, and her relatives are al batshit crazy in the most fun of ways. We danced a ton, and I had a really good time overall. Here are some photos, of course!!

Nothing really else exciting has gone on. We have an awesome trip coming up to the beach, in which I of course am going to be on horseback as much as humanly possible. Once on Friday and once on Saturday - I'll keep you guys updated on how that goes!! We're going to a beach on the Pacific, where there are a lot of gorgeous waterfalls, islands, cliffs, and snorkeling. I'm going to get burned to a crisp!!
Also, I'm planing my Spring Break trip, which is going to be insanely expensive because of all of the horseback riding I'm doing. At least three times, probably four. BUT here are the other activities I'm planning on doing: Night walk through the forest to see the sloths, frog pond, butterfly garden, hummingbird garden, bat habitat, and maybe ziplining. I think I'm going to be gone for 6 days and I think my host mom is coming along too, which is fine by me - it will be nice to not be by myself, and she doesn't ride which means that I'll get that as some alone time.
So that's basically it - though I do want to show you guys the AWESOME NEW FRIENDS I've made here so far.

Fred on steroids? Fred went missing for all of three nights and then THIS appears. Note the toothpaste box for reference. That sucker was at least 2 1/2 inches from leg to leg. Another shot with a soda bottle for reference:

----------------------
Hola a todos! Espero que están sobreviviendo en los EEUU - la nieve se ve horrible. Que bueno que esté aquí, están celosos?? Deben estar. Ha sido 78 F y con viento toda la semana.
Aquí lo paso bien, como siempre. Fuimos al Volcán Poás el viernes pasado, y fue muy divertido - muy loco, porque los nubes se fueron tan rápido que el crater podía estar completamente claro un segundo, y al siguente no podía ver nada por los nubes. Tengo unos videos para que puedan ver!
Bueno, fuimos al crater y entonces caminamos por los senderos. Dios mio estoy gorda. Espero la respuesta del establo local para que pueda volver a trabajar. Necesito algo que hacer!!
Después de ir al volcán, Tatiana y Katie y yo fuimis a compras en San Jose - nuestra primera viaje solas!! No tengo fotos porque no quería llevar mi camera a la ciudad, pero se fue muy bien y compré dos camisas para llevar a las discotecas por menos de 20 dólares. Me encanta la ropa barata.
Sábado por la noche fuimos a los cumpleaños de Nati en su casa - muy divertido, y sus relaciones son completamente locos en una manera muy bueno. Bailamos mucho, y me disfruté tanto.
Nada más ha pasado. Tenemos una viaje para las Islas Tortugas, y voy a cabalgar tanto. Una vez el viernes, y otra vez el sábado. Vamos a la playa en el Pacifico, dónde hay muchas cataratas lindas, islas, y snorkeling. Voy a quemar!
También estoy planeando mis vacaciones de Semana Santa, que va a costar mucho porque voy a cabalgar tanto. A menos tres veces, y probablemente cuatro. Pero aquí son las otras actividades que voy a hacer - un tour de la selva por la noche para ver a las animales, un laguito de ranas, jardín de mariposas y hummingbirds, el habitat de murciélagos, y quizás ziplining. Me quedaré allá por 6 días, y creo que Bernadita va a acompañarme también - estará bueno que no ando sola, y no cabalga, así tengo tiempo para mí.
Basicamente es todo - pero mire a mis amigos nuevos.
<3
