The past few days absolutely flew.
With the arrival of ecology clubmates Kelly and Alex, Don Ontoniel’s retirement party, today’s wonderful weather, and the new book I started reading, I have stayed relatively busy…you know, like relative to a tica. Things are still very relaxed as my work transitions from collecting and organizing data to outlining and designing the 2011 Sustainability Report.
After work in the afternoons, it was wonderful to stay up late (10:30…HA!) and reminisce about Athens, past parties, and crazy ecology shenanigans. It was also nice to do a bit of yoga with them; although my heart aches that we neither hashed nor took an ecology calendar photo. I guess that will have to wait.
Friday, I started reading Water for Elephants, which is now my go-to procrastination tool.
Last night was la fiesta at Alvarro’s trapiche. A percentage breakdown of my time at the party would show:
So obviously, that was a great time. Then this morning, Buck and I took advantage of the beautiful day with a hike toward San Luis. It was the first time that I’ve hiked down into one of the valleys here, and I was amazed to find myself feeling even more surrounded by nature. The valley walls are steep and awe-inducing.
Luckily, on our hike, we ran into Mario and Margot with little Jorje Mario on the front of their motorcycle. They stopped and invited us to dinner on Tuesday night, proving that there are more good things to come.
Pura Vida!
*One quick afterthought: Even if hard rain drives you indoors for an entire Saturday afternoon, don’t watch the movie Sin City. It won’t lift your spirits.
