Costa Rica: Playa Hermosa

Tomorrow a group of about 11 of us students are taking a trip to Playa Hermosa. Hermosa is a really pretty beach on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and is only about a 2 hour bus ride from San Jose. We’re leaving Saturday morning, relaxing all day Saturday on the beach, spending the night in a hostel (rooms of 6 are only $12.50 a person per night), and then coming back sometime Sunday in the afternoon. It should be a fun trip and experience. We’re going to hit up a supermarket when we get down there so we can buy food materials. That way we won’t spend a lot on eating out for every meal. Caroline and I, and maybe a few others, will probably get our surf on. I’m sure a lot of people will want to improve their tans too.

Last day of Spanish Basico I is today. It’s also our final exam today but it’s only written. We had the oral part of the exam yesterday which went pretty well. I’m not too worried about the written portion of the exam since my grammar is pretty solid for a Basico I student. I did, however, buy note cards and made a bunch of Spanish vocab flashcards to help improve my vocab retention. In other news, here are some more pictures for your enjoyment. Hasta luego!
