tuanis

tuanis means ¨the pure life¨which is the slogan of costa rica. cool huh. i´m so a surfer chic its killing me. about 15 other students and i went on a little excursion this weekend. we left friday afternoon for a city called Monteverde. it's known for it's rain forest and cloud forest. we ziplined through the jungle. it was pretty much the most exhilarating thing i've EVER done. it's the largest zip line in costa rica. at the end we did this tarzan swing where you hang on to a rope and jump. that totally made the trip for me. then we left a city called la fortuna where the Arenal Volcano and the natural hot springs are. we went to a resort and soaked in the hot springs. they were so nice. in the states, i'd never be able to even afford to go into the resort to look. it was a really nice setup. however, this is a different country. yes.....today we are going to hike the volcano and hopefully see some lava. it usually has eruptions at night but maybe we can see one during the day. ok all for now. oh and i'm learning swiss too. so fabulous.
