When it Rains it Pours



Literally. There is no such thing as a misting or light rain in the wet season in Costa Rica. Today has been a personal struggle, but the day is only half over, so it can only improve if I will it so. Wanting to express myself in another language, but coming to barriers, dealing with strange looks and questions (the same ones over and over again), struggling with proper verb tenses in Spanish (its difficult, to say the least). I'm also experiencing horrible allergies, and I never have in my life. Everything smells like mildew- mold, I am sure its the spores. This morning I had an exam and this afternoon, I leave for the biological reserve of Isla del Caño, which is stated (by National Geographic) has having biological diversity similar to the Galapagos Islands. I checked 4 scuba diving websites, and it rates in the top 10 on all of them. This excursion feels like a once in a lifetime deal, it taking more than 6 hours to get there on bus, then 1-1/12 by boat. I am sure it will be fantastic. Pura Vida my beloved readers.
