Tamarindo to Arenal...

So we last left off on our secend day in costa rica. It is now our 5th day here and a lot has gone down in the past three days.
Day 3:
Day 3 Jessica and I were still in tamarindo, it rained, but really only in the morning and in the evening ... actually the sun came out enough to give me a little sun burn! which I must admit was actually kinda nice! So the 3rd day comprosed of shopping in the morning and laying out in the afternoon and walking down the beach till we found a place for dinner.

Day 4:
Day four we checked out of the hotel and at 1 began our "4" hour drive to Arenal. We interbussed it up since it is only 29 bucks and we basically have the whole bus to ourselves. Oscar was our driver that day and he took it on to himself to personally show us the wildlife of Arenal. So we stopped to see monkeys and to see tocans, we stopped to look at pretty views and to take pictures... He was so funny! He whole howl at the monkeys at jump to the branches of trees to get us fruit. all for the flat rate of 29 dollars! hahaha. We finally arrive in Arenal at like 7 or 7:30 ( so our trip took more like 7 hours...) oscar was so nice and instead of just dropping us off at the interbus stopped he called our family and drove us to the house! which was a total God thing cause there would have been NO WAY that we would have found it by ourselves. So anyways, we arrive at the house and we walk into the house and meet our family. There are 3 kids (11,13,15) we met the 11 year old boy and the 13 year old girl... the kids dont really want anything to do with us... yet. And the girl was kinda annoyed that we couldnt say her name... still cant. The mother is very very nice but speaks NO ENGLISH... none. So that was awesome since everyone knows how well i speak it... The father is also very nice he speaks a little english so the helped a lot. The mom took us back to our room, which is in the back of the house with 2 other room like apartments that they rent out to people (4 guys, 2 from niceragua and 2 costa ricans) and when we opened the door we were taken back by the BEAUTIFUL bright blue walls... just lovely... and... bright... i´ll just put it this way there is not way we can suffer from depression when we are in that room. After taking in the color we looked aound and became aquainted with our 8x8 room, which didnt take to long at all. two beds one desk ( that is 4 year old size) and a bathroom. There is one fan which you would think be enough for our 8x8 room but let me tell you it so is not. That night jess and i watched a movie (vicki this is when jess called you) and we had to stop several times because jessica swore she felt something crawling in her hair. So after doing a bed check and a hair check and then making sure our little lizard friend was still on the curtain we continued our movie and then went to sleep... well kinda went to sleep.

Day 5
Today we woke up at 6 45 and got ready for school we ate breakfast with the little boy and then his mom forced him to walk us to our school to schow us where it is. Once at school we learned... from 8 to 12 30. At 12 30 it started to monsoon! like really... so jessica and I treked through the monsoon to a little resturant ate fast and got back out in the rain to go to our medical class. this class was... interesting... just FYI it is just as funny to here the names of private parts in spanish as in english. anyways... i gotta go because my hour is up! we hope this was a good update! Keep us in your prayers because we have no idea what we are doing. we are making memories thats for sure! LOVE YOU ALL! until next time.
