I'm moving... again

I am moving once again. It will be my third apartment in four months, but this one is pretty baller, so don't hate. Four Bedrooms, three bathrooms, laundry, high speed internet and cable. I didn't think it would be possible here, but it is pretty sweet. And for only 250 dollars it month it was a steal. I will be living with three English teachers and a Costa Rican social worker. They are all really nice and graduated from college in 07, so I think it will go well.

Ciudad Colon was great for a few months, but it was just insanely far from the city and all my classes. I will definately miss living out in the cow pastures of Ciudad Colon, but the location of the new apartment is great. It is far enough outside the city where you don't get that nasty and dirty feeling when you are walking, but close enough (15 minutes) where you don't have to plan your whole day according to bus rides.

On a side note, Costa Rica celebrated it's Independence Day a few days. I thought it would be a crazy all day long party since the people here are very patriotic and proud, but suprisingly it was pretty short and consisted of kids banging on drums and dancing for a few hours. Maybe it wasn't so crazy because they spread out the parades in a bunch of different cities, but I was expecting a lot more.

We are having another family reunion this weekend, so I can't wait for that. My mom, dad and sister are coming. Can't wait to see you guys.
