Arenal

The rest of day 5:
So when we got back to our room i had a little surpise waiting there for me... and when i say little i mean hundreds of ants crawling all over my bed. yeah... it was no bueno for sure. So jessica and i immediatly sprung into terminator action... jessica having practice from her other trips became the offical ant hunter. She tracked their trail across the wall and down to the ground. Meanwhile i shook out my sheets and whimpered a little. That night we had an orientaion with our school and on the way back we stopped at the store and got windex and lysol to kill the ants and to create a barrier of ant poison in our room. When we got to our room I got to creating the barriers. I sprayed all along the floor and the wall and in the bathroom. I sprayed the door crack both the bottom on and th top one... I sprayed anoud the window and the curtains, and i sprayed a line between the bathroom and our room and lasting i sprated a square around mine and jessicas bed... jus to be sure. Then we turned in for another restless night sleep. awesome.

Day 6:
We get up and go to school. However this time ar school we talk to Giselle (some lady in charge) and ask her about changing houses, she says it is no problem and we ask her to please not say anything until we have figure everything out. After class at 3 jess and I went on a hike/tour up the side of arenals volcano. It was a perfect day for the hike, it wasent to hot and there was a constant breeze. on our hike we saw spider monkeys, howler monkeys, tucans, and other animals. During out hike jessica stepped in a ant line... dont worry none got on her... but they were all carrying little leaves and after jessica stepped in there line it was funny to see them get all confuse because she had just erased their sent trail. On our way back from the hike our guise stopped at the side of the volcao and we watched it have little eruptions... it was really cool when the sun set because it would be all black then all of the sudden you would see red lava just flow over and down the mountain! We had deinner with out family like we do every night... during dinnerthe mom asked us over and over why we wanted to leave and how she has lots of people stay and have a great time... so obviously someone tipped her off. It was muy muy awkward. but after dinner jessica and i decided we should go back out and try to find a computer to use (since jessicas lap-top hates us) when we get outside of our house we see a group of people huddled on the side walk and when we walk up to go around them they all yell at us and wave us back... when we look down we see FREAKIN SNAKE!!! This was no ordenairy snake... ( of course... not with our luck) oh no this was the kind of snake that you say the little ryme to...? red touches yellow your a dead fellow... red touches black your ok jack... yeah that kind. And just FYI the red was most def touching the yellow. So basically we had just come in close contact with one of if not THE most deadly snake in costa rica! which was weird since they are usually in the mountains or rivers (none of which we live in our by... once again our luck) i told my teacher about our encounter the next day and she said they her husbands father is a farmer and these smakes are so poisonous that they kill full grown cows! awesome. that night i was so hot that when i knelt down on the tile i slipped... yeah slipped off of my knees... gross i know. So all in all this pushed us over the edge... that night i did my full room windex and lysol spray and we went to bed... me hoping for the best and looking foward to tomorrow a new day to fix everything and start over... jessica... not so much but trying her hardest to keep it together... god bless her.

Day 7:
Today was like the others... we woke up went to class... then did our nursing class. We got to visit a orphange today (actually it is more like a group home). We talked with the kids and watched the doctor. On the way back we got a call that someone hit there head in the hot springs and since we were with the doctor in the ambulance we got to ride along and watch... unfortunaltly for us she was fine. just kidding... she was fine though she was just nervou about a head injury in another country... no loss of concioussness and no disoreintation... just very american ( that and her mom is into astrology and said that she will get hurt or get sick this month...yyyeeeaaahhh) we will see how the rest of the day/week goes... we have several plans and options for the rest of the time in costa rica... well will keep you updated!

all in all i can say at least for myself that although it has not been an easy trip i am still glad to be here. if you look it on the postitive side it isnt that bad... we missed our flight but we got another one... we had a smelly room but we got a free upgrade! now we just need to upgrade our family! haha. but really i am glad to be here I am experienceing new things and making memories with my best friend. This may not be the trip i imagined but it is the trip i got and i will do all i can to turn it in to what i want it to be. I am trying very hard to stay positive and prayers from all of you guys sitting in an air conditioned house with a carpet and whatever else would be nice. Please pray for jessicas nerves... well she says everything, and for my poor insect biten skin, and for me to know what needs to be done and do it. Please pray that we know what we need to do and have the strength to get it done... and lastly please pray that we have fun... just fun lots and lots of fun. we love you all and hope you are all well... well not really it might make us feel better to know you guys are suffering a little... haha. Until next time.

p.s. please comment! we would love to see what you guys think!
