This weekend was absolutely amazing. We had the opportunity to go to Baldi Hot Springs. It was incredible. We also went to La Fortuna Waterfall. Having the opportunity to go there made me realize that there are so many places in the world to see and how if you have the opportunity to travel, you should. We went to Monteverde this weekend also. We zip-lined along the "Canopy Tour" which was great. You zip-line through a cannon and what seems to be the clouds. I would suggest zip-lining to be one of the top places to visit in Costa Rica (so far, I've only been here a little over two weeks.) This weekend made me appreciate this place even more because I got to experiencing new adventures. I had my second big culture shock. I rode the school shuttle with a driver who didn't speak English. I could not tell him the address at all. The addresses here are sentences long and refer to neighborhoods. As we were driving and another girl was able to help us translate, I started to have a conversation with him. I came home and had more conversation with my tico family in Spanish. This short bus ride made me realize that I can't depend on fellow students who are fluent in Spanish. The language barrier is still a big culture shock but I am learning how important it is to appreciate the language of another culture. These experiences also made me realize how much of an advantage people who speak more than one language have in the work field. It also gave me motivation to try and learn as much as I can while I have the chance. I'm starting to love "tico time" and it's teaching me that it's not always important to be in a rush to do even the smallest things.
