San Antonio de Escazu

Hello All!

So today I went on a day trip with my class to San Antonio de Escazu. First our bus dropped us off at a church while we waited for our tour guide to arrive! We hung out there for a while and we took pictures with the rock wall mural across the street. Our tour guide arrived, so we went to our first destination, which was to the house of this man who makes masks. It was pretty cool! He made them so that people could get into them and appear much taller, then you dance! It is funny looking, but so much fun!! After that, we walked down the street to the house of another man who makes traditional Trapiche, which is basicly a brick of sugar made from sugar cane. He used ox's to get the sugar water from the sugar cane. It was all pretty fun!

Also, I have the opportunity to learn Salsa, Merengue and Bachata for $20 a month! It is an awesome opportunity, I am pretty excited about it! For all of you who know my best friend Matt, I am totally going to make him dance with me!!

As for this weekend, the plans are made and I will be leaving tomorrow morning at 5am! We are planning on seeing Volcano Arenal, zipline through the forest, see hotsprings....and anything else we can think of!!

I will let you know Sunday how it all goes! Until then...Ten un buen dia!
