Thursday

The library is really coming together. I feel like I'm on HGTV or something. The carpenters have started putting the bookshelves in and the walls are all finished. Raquel (my host mom's daughter) even stopped by to help touch up some of the already painted walls outside of the library. We also started working on the bathroom as a sort of bonus side project. We bought a blue toilet to fit the color scheme!! I love it. For lunch, Jamie's mom invited us to her house for avocado, tomato, cheese, and bacon (not for me!) sandwiches while Megan gave us a briefing on the intensive Junior Achievement course we are going to facilitate tomorrow. After our late lunch we went horseback riding...on the beach...and watched the sun set. It was breathtaking to watch that brilliant orange orb dip into the nearly perfect, watery horizon. The sea just engulfed the sun and soon it was time head back to the village. Tonight we are having a slumber party with Megan. We invited her over to watch 'The Office'. Marvin showed up randomly. He ate dinner with us and is now watching tv with us (with Spanish subtitles even though he is fluent in English) . Well, tomorrow is our last full day in Costa Rica because we'll be spending all of Saturday just traveling. Uggg...I don't want to go :(
