Largest crater in the world???

Hi all!

Part of the crater at Volcan Poas!

So today a group of friends and I decided to go and see Volcan Poas! It was pretty awesome! Last night I did some research on the volcano. It says "The crater is 1,050 ft. (320 meters) deep. At almost a mile across (1.6 km) across, it's also the largest active crater in the world!..." So it was really cool to go and see the volcano today, and to know a little bit about it as well!

This weekend also marked the end to another Spanish course!! That means I am only down to one more month here! There are definitely mixed feelings here! I'm looking forward to going home and seeing everyone, and maybe going for a surprise visit to see my grandparents (even though they are probably reading this right now :P )And then going out to school and seeing everyone out there, and getting the most delicious pizza (BBQ Chicken, bacon, ranch pizza) haha!  HOWEVER... of course, I am going to miss Costa Rica and all of it's amazing beauty! I have felt relaxed here at times, have had some amazing times here with my new friends from all over, and have even thought about my future, knowing I'm on the right track... and even realizing how much my high school / school district sucked at teaching Spanish!! haha! But you know what, I still have four weeks left (more-or-less) and I'm going to make it worth it! And work my butt off with my Spanish studies, and make everyone back home in the states proud, and overcome my Spanish deficit that my high school left. 

As well as all of that happening this week... I decided to submit four (4) fotos from mi trip to a magazine back at my universidad! So, I will let you know how that goes and if any of them get picked to go into the magazine!
The photos I submitted were the following: 

Well, tengo sueno, y quiero soñar!

Adios y Pura Vida!
