Playa Tamarindo

Hey all!

So this last weekend, the group from school and I went to Tamarindo Beach on the Pacific coast! It was absolutely beautiful....if you cannot tell from the picture! We didn't do too much at all! I for one, went dancing, and just relaxed! I am not a beach person AT ALL... but I somehow felt so relaxed here. It has at least been 4 years since I have been that relaxed (Now that's saying something!)  The last night in Tamarindo though, my roommate, one of our friends, and one of the kids from our group were just walking around, then we decided to walk down to the beach...and it was just at the right time...Sunset! It was an incredible view, and just amazing!

And last Wednesday, our school held something called a "CRASH party." It is when the International students and the Tico students come together to meet each other and celebrate the beginning of the semester. It was fun; there was music, dancing, and surprises! Dancers and a band showed up. The band was like a tropical marching band, with different styles of drums, and a trumpet! The dancers were incredible as well they were dressed in tropical uniforms, almost like the hula dancers from Hawaii from the movies. It was definitely a great time! My roommate and I danced to some Salsa music. We just wish they'd do that more often and not just once a semester (as far as we know!)

Well, off to finish up on some homework!
Adios y Dios te bendiga!
