Today I had class as usual from 9-3, tomorrow is my last day of classes and I will have Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. Today I decided which volunteer projects I will be attending and I will leave this monday. I decided to chose the rustic Carribean turtle rescue so my first two weeks of volunteering will be spent with very little electricity and no internet. The project is a day trip away and is hours frim the nearest city. While there I will help build nesting for turtles as well as release turtles and patrol the beaches at night to prevent poachers and animals from stealing the eggs. If all goes according to plan then I will be spending two weeks at an animal conservation center in Alajuela.
While off this weekend I hope to travel around a bit, maybe go to the Arenal volcano as well as some other national parks.
Today I walked home from my classes and it took me about 30 minutes. (Taking the bus can sometimes take longer than that due to traffic) The organization in which I take classes at is about 2 miles away and is located in a more urban area with malls and office buildings.
On my way home I stopped and got a fresh young coconut for just 50 cents and very much enjoyed drinking the juice. You can't beat coconut juice when it comes to a natural refreshing beverage.
I still haven't taken too many pictures as I have only stayed around the city but after this weekend I should have tons of photos. I have added a picture of the house I am staying at as well as my room.
