Puerto Viejo!

Hello all!

I am now on my last week here! : (

I went to Puerto Viejo, which is a beach on the Caribean side! Most everyone in my program came! It was pretty funny because we all came with different groups, but we would run into each other when we were walking around the town.

So this beach town was different from the rest. This place was all about Bob Marley! You could hear Regae music all over the place and there were a lot of people wearing dreads and Jamaican colors.

Ok, so there are a few things I have to mention about my experience here!

1. I went to a Regae bar that was literally on the beach, it was so much fun! Really foggy sometimes, but cool!
2. I slept in a hammock my second night and it was awesome!! I really want to buy one, but I am still deciding if I should!
3. The ATM's didn't work, so at times it was a big pain!
4. I went on an adventure with 3 of my other friends. We rented bikes and rode to a beach that was about 9 miles away. Unfortunately, on the way back the tire of my friend's bike popped!! The two of us stayed behind 8 miles away from our hostel waiting for the other two people to find us a taxi! My friend Grace and I were on the side of the road in our bathing suits while tons of cars passed us including the police, ambulance and coast guard! We were all getting nervous because we had to catch our bus home at 4 and we left the beach kind of early, but the delay was setting us back. Finally a guy stopped, at the time we weren't sure if he was the person our friend sent, but it was! He took Grace and the bike back to the hostel while the rest of us rode back as fast as we could! We ate fast then took a taxi to the bus stop!
5. I am very tan right now!
6. Long busrides SUCK!
7. Snorkling wasn't going to happen for us! The current was just way too strong...

I think that is about it for now!

Hasta luego!
