Grace's Visit

About a week ago, my best friend Grace from the United States came to visit me! That was honestly one of the coolest things in the world! Not going to lie, I was a bit nervous at first, I didn't know if it was going to be weird, or awkward, or if she was going to think I have changed a lot. On Friday at around 6ish my family and I went to the airport to meet her, and that was the start of an adventurous week!

We went to Playa Conchal, which personally my favorite beach in Costa Rica. If anyone travels to Costa Rica, make sure you go to Guanacaste , Playa Conchal-it is GORGEOUS! The water is clear, you can open your eyes underwater, and the sand is white, and there are a lot of things to do there! We also visited Guapiles . I have family there, so we stayed with them, rode horses, and ate (a lot!) there. We drove to the Caribbean  but when we arrived it was raining! But that didn't stop us from going into the teal water. We also went surfing in Jaco, which is such a thrill. I believe, that if you ever get the chance to go surfing, take it. Don't be afraid, be careful, but go for it! You won't regret it! Besides the miny trips, we hung out at home, in the pool, went on a hike with my dad, and talked, and talked, and talked, and talked, and talked! It was great to see her after 8 months! It was unreal to have her here, and I had a great time.

I can't believe I only have 2 months left...that just scares me. I ask myself sometimes, ... "Wait...where did the time go?!!" It has FLOWN by, and so I am going to do as much as I can, and experience as much as I can in these last 2 months.

My Welcome to Costa Rica sign. I was getting a lot of looks, everyone else's signs were small, and white. BEING CREATIVE!!
