Roughing it in Santa Teresa

After an exhilerating and FULL twenty four hours of travel...


....our group arrived in Santa Teresa on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. The posse :Emma (good friend/roommate/partner in crime from LA)
Jen (best friend since freshman year at UCLA)
Sierra (Emma´s good friend from Marin)
Samantha (Emma´s good family friend from childhood)
Karen (Emma´s amazing mother, and generous hostess!)
I´ll give the brief rundown of our month (!!!) long stay in Santa Teresa, since the daily routine didn´t vary too much...
The month consisted of a LOT of the following: rich Costa Rican coffee, spanish lessons and bird watching on the porch, yoga on the beach,

yoga in the studio which overlooks the beach, dance parties (inevitable with 6 females in one house), swimming in the warm (!!!) pacific, reading, painting, trying not to inhale but inhaling massive amounts of dust,

casados de pescado (fish with rice, beans, and salad for 2 dollars), playing pool, not getting much better at it, taking more pictures than one thought possible, getting robbed (once), more swimming, more yoga, more walking, and meeting great people....
