hmmm...

So, I figured it would happen...the inevitable lull in things to blog about.

Ho hum.

Don't get me wrong, because things are still fantastic here in Costa Rica. Here's just a few of the things that I can remember being excited by this past week. Go figure that all the things I remember are the things I took pictures of. HA!

White-faced capuchin spotting, once again, above the casitas:

Significantly more exciting though, was my transformation from mere girlfriend to hairdresser! haha

So here's Buck, in desperate need of a haircut:

And though you can't see it very well, this is Buck's new haircut!

(by yours truly)

 

And only Jenier and Kevin have made fun of it thus far...an accomplishment on my part, if you ask me. And anyway, from what I understood of their Spanish, it wasn't the actual haircut they were making fun of, but instead my ability to safely execute the task. They were marveling at the fact that I didn't cut Buck's ear off in the process. That would have been less than ideal, certainly.

The two of us took lunch on Wednesday at Mario and Margot's house. My favorite part might have been finding out that their 4-year-old son, and my little brother for one night in March, had such a good time that night that he cried a little when Amanda and I left. I asked in very poor spanish if he did that when all the students left. The answer, surprisingly, was no. Apparently we left a mighty impression, which was lovely to hear.

Did I mention that I finished the book Water for Elephants in my last post? Time is running away from me, and one week blends into the next.

Now I'll have to wrap up my blogging since a small winged bug just crawled under the keyboard keys. All hope might be lost for this little guy, but this last bit is taking a long time to type since I have to strategically avoid certain parts of the keyboard.

Adios residentes de los Estados Unidos!

**Holy Cow! I think it just escaped from the bottom of the keyboard! No wings left, but come on...that's still totally impressive!**
