Feliz año nuevo!

I'm in Monte verde with Lena and her family. We have been travelling around in Costa Rica all week and today it's time to go home to Brasilito to celebrate new years eve. This will be my last day together with Lena for an unknown amount of time as she's returning to Austria the third of January. Can't believe her exchange year is already over, time flies.

We've already been in Costa Rica for more than five months. These last two months went so fast and I feel like this half year I have left wont be enough. Sorry mom and dad, I just don't want to go home.

Christmas just simply wasn't christmas this year. I had a headache and fever all day so I spent most of the time sleeping. The only thing we did was a dinner for family and friends, and actually you don't need more than that (especially as Manolo brought his banana-chocolate cake). So it was a cozy day, AND I got to skype with my family!

Happy new year!

Really really really good Costa Rican music.

Great week

I'm just getting worse and worse in updating this blog. I'm always out doing stuff, and when I'm at home I'm always with my family. I will try and try and try to get better but you can all just assume that when I don't write I'm probably having a great time.

This week some friends visited me and we had an awesome beach/icecream eating/talking/dancing/crazy/cozy days. Yesterday I went rollerskating with Yulissa, Yailin, Fabricio and Victor, and slept over at Yulissas house afterwards. Today we made cookies and then went to Playa Flamingo in the sunset together with Katherine and Floria.

I still have some christmas gifts to buy so I will fight to find that tomorrow.It's so weird,  I really don't feel like christmas, but honestly I don't care either.

Una navidad para todos

My sister and her friends are arranging a christmasparty for the poor kids in the area this Saturday. They've been working so hard for this so I really hope (and think) that it'll be a success. The cool thing about the party is that every kid (there are more than 200) get a christmasgift, donated by (almost) 200 different persons. So kids that usually wouldn't get anything for christmas now get a doll or a game or clothes, or atleast something. And the party itself will be so cool with a lot of food (donated by hotels, supermarkets and persons) clowns, inflatables and games. Yes. I definitely think it will be a success. Hopefully the kids will think so too as they're the most important part of party.

13 december - lucia

To me it's not december, at all. It's not dark, it's not cold, it's not snowy and the house doesn't smell of gingerbread. The coziness of christmas is simply not here. Atleast not yet.

It feels like I wont take christmas that seriously this year. And I actually don't think it matters. I've got the rest of my life to celebrate it. And there are several ways to achieve that cozy feeling that I miss most of all.

First time in my life (i think) that I didn't celebrate lucia. Feels weird, but what feels even weirder is that I don't even care.

Feliz cumple

Didn't have internet on the birthday of Lovisa, so now, a little bit late, I'd like to say...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

17 years together <3

Pics from rio celeste

Photos from the classtrip to rio celeste. All taken from facebook, will upload my own some other day. Just one thing, in real life the water is blueblueblue, but on the pictures it looks normal.

San josé :)

This week I've gone to the beach every day, yesterday to Conchal, wednesday to flamingo, tuesday to Conchal and monday to tamarindo. I'm more tanned than ever and I've been laughing at the snowproblem in sweden.

Now I am superexcited to go to San José to shop. After a while out here it's so nice to get to the city where there actually are people.

I feel so stupid

Thought we had vacations and then a friend called to ask if i'm going to school tomorrow... Up 4:30 to iron!
