Dude, you won't believe it. Maybe with my current craziness you will.
Yesterday, Ben and I ran with the bulls in Zapote, San José! We had to get to the stadium early and wait for hours to get our arms stamped. We chatted it up with a bunch of other Ticos. Their slang was very hard to understand, but we got the opportunity to learn some more. After hours of waiting, the event began. So here's how it works... Over 100 lunatics stand in a big dirt ring and wait for an angry raging bull to run out and attack. "The only thing you need to know, is the bulls are trying to kill you," says a fellow Tico. I never knew I could jump a fence so fast. After multiple bulls I survived!
I can't say anything else THAT eventful happened this weekend. Last night we went to Café Mundo again and tonight we are going to an Argentinian Steakhouse because Rachel leaves tomorrow :(.
Stay tuned for more. A little over a month to go. God Bless

I Keep Forgetting
I'm on a time crunch so this will be quick!
I am actually in Spanish for Business this month, I made a mistake and went to the wrong class the first day! So the weekend after Panama I went to Jaco and went bungee jumping! By myself... the others just watched. The package also included a HUGE swing, and something called the "Rocket Launcher". It was so much fun!
Last weekend I went to Nicaragua with Bethany, Ben, Hope, and Kelsey. We stayed with a missionary who has been there for 8.5 years, and Hope's friend Marsha, her husband Keith, and two little boys. It was a great weekend :). We got to see life in Nicaragua away from the tourism, and what it would be like to be a missionary there, or really any third world country. I thought it was really cool that Marsha and Keith brought their kids.
This week I decided. I will be working as a high school counselor at SpringHill all summer. I'm VERY excited, and I keep learning that more and more people I know will be working there also. It should be an amazing summer. I can't wait to see what God does!
Again, I will try to update sooner next time! Sorry for those of you who read this!
