manuel antonio

I don't have much to say because I'm tired and want to take a nap. We actually almost have a REAL weekend. We did community service this morning; we divided up into groups and our group planted FIFTY TREES all over the center's property. It was awesome. Then we get the afternoon OFF and tomorrow OFF which is really nice.

But anyway, we got back from Manuel Antonio last night which is oh possibly the most beautiful place in the world. The beach was stunning and the water was practically boiling hot. We also saw a ton of wildlife. I was, no joke, an inch away from this sloth. It was absolutely the coolest thing I have ever witnessed. Anyway, just basking in the glory of being in PARADISE. Have I mentioned I'm in paradise?

At Manuel Antonio we got to camp in the park because we were helping the park conduct a survey about carrying capacity of the park--whether it's too crowded, if it's affecting the wildlife, etc. That was fun. We also just got a ton of time to chill on the beach which is one of the nicest beaches in the world. All in all, I can't say I mind being a student here. Sunbathing in Central America during school? ....yeah.






And this is class. And my new best friends.
