Sunday Funday

This morning, I woke up and thought my day was going to go one way, but it went a different way. I was planning to go to a brunch at my house and do some work in the garden with some other people that live here. I woke up to a message that brunch and garden work was cancelled so I decided to join the group that was going to the farmers' market. I got some carrots, lettuce, zucchini, and potatoes. I also got a limonada fresa that was so good. The prices at the market are much more reasonable than at the grocery store so I am glad that I went. It also is fun going to the market and seeing all the people, products, and food. 

After the market, I got back to my house and did a couple of things that were on my list to get done. At 3pm I met up with some people and we walked to go some coffee. I don't drink coffee so I got a smoothie that was tasty. It was a fun afternoon hanging out and walking around. We walked past a store and went in. I checked for the Coca-Cola Oreos because my Nonny told me about them, and I have been looking every time I go to the store. This store didn't have any and these were their only Oreo options: 

The search continues for the new Oreos. Someone told me that they saw an ad for the Coca-Cola flavor so there is hope. Also, I am finally starting work this week. Tuesday I am going to start math tutoring! Feeling excited.

My first blog post!

Hello everyone (everyone might just be my mom and dad)! I decided that I wanted to start blogging because I am starting a really big solo adventure and I want to document what is happening. Currently I am sitting in the Dallas Fort Worth airport and I’m in a “luxury lounge”. I got a travel credit card and one of the perks is that I get access to lounges in a bunch of different airports. It seems really cool to me because I get free food and a place to relax. It’s pretty busy but no one is talking to me so that’s nice.  I was dropped off at the Grand Junction airport this morning at 4am to start this journey. I am going to make it to San Jose, Costa Rica this evening around 6pm. I can’t stop getting overwhelmed by waves of sadness and fear. It’s getting better as the day goes on but I keep thinking about the rest of my day and getting to where I need to be as well as what the next couple of months could look like for me. I keep telling myself that everything will be okay because it ...

I made it!

I have safely arrived in Costa Rica and I am now in the place where I will be staying for the next month.  Yesterday after being in the DFW airport for 6.5 hours, I finally boarded my plane to get to San Jose. The middle seat next to me was open which was incredible, so I didn't have to feel super smooshed. The flight was 4.5 hours and when we arrived in San Jose it was very rainy and dark. I wasn't expecting it to be so dark at 6pm but it was so we will have to see if that is the norm or if it was because of the storm. Getting off the plane and through customs was so easy! If you know anything about my trip to Ireland last fall you know that I have a lot of anxiety associated with customs, so I am very grateful that it was so simple. I grabbed a taxi from the airport, and I really did not care how much it was going to cost because I needed the ease of that taxi. I got dropped off outside of my hostel and the whole block was pitch black. There had been a power outage I guess be...

Figuring some things out

Image
Yesterday after I did my blog post I really did not do too much. I do not want to stress myself out or do anything too crazy, so I really just spent yesterday hanging out. I talked to my parents, grandma, and Grace and this time I didn't cry at all during the phone calls. Since it was a Sunday, I wasn't sure what the hours of different places would be so I decided to do a late lunch/ early dinner so I would be able to eat somewhere. I went to a cafe that was about a 5-minute walk from where I am staying. They had a full menu as well as a bunch of sweets and coffee options. I wanted to get something like fajitas, but they didn't have any vegetarian options, so I ordered "una hamburguesa vegetariana." I sat there and waited for my food and while I am waiting another table came in and they order some cute coffee drinks and some pastries and then out comes this huge burger with fries with a huge steak knife coming out of it. I felt like such an embarrassing American f...
