After 10pm here in Costa Rica...

Sorry Mr. Dubas for posting after you. So these past couple days have been crazy. Meeting the high students was fun but I could not understand what they were saying; Mimi told me that the one kid who said to me "What Your Name" in English was making fun of me :(. But whatever it's cool!


The interview with Epsy Campbell was awesome, we all were really attentive and interested in everything she had to say. She was so passionate about PAC, and she truly felt that CAFTA would only hurt the people of Costa Rica. To be honest I agree, and I think most of us here do but I don't want to speak for anyone else.

I liked that we also got see the other party and that they supported CAFTA, but it was like a dry political speech like you hear in America.

Today (Friday) was awesome! It was such an amazing experience making beds for those who hard practically nothing but were so happy just to have what they did. The Nicaraguans that live in La Carpia are so better off there then they would have been in Nicaragua, but I think that's the saddest thing of all because no should have to live in those conditions. All of us took so much away from today because just by being there and seeing them smile and laugh just shows that family, friends, and community mean so much more than money. In the United States we have so much but all we really need is just love and compassion! :)

Now on to the fun stuff!
Coffee!! On Thursday I had TRES cups of coffee! I love Costa Rican coffee con leche & lots of
sugar!! The eggs and toaste at breakfast are bomb!! Love the rice!
Tonight at dinner we were served FISH and I Did Eat it - I know SHOCK right!? And it was not too bad! The mashed potatoes were delish! And so was the great hot chocolate!!

No internet access tomorrow through like next Wednesday night (which I guess is the 4th of July!!) so I just want to say to my friends and family have a great weekend and Happy 4th! I love you Eddie! Miss all of yins like crazy!

With lots of love!
