July 19- Nearing the End

It is hard to believe that 7 weeks have passed here in Costa Rica. I will be home in 3 weeks and busy catching up on what I missed. Can you say food, family, baths, and freinds?? I can! I miss my family so much and am so lucky to have such a great family stand behind me. I can't tell you how lucky I feel whenever you send me packages here! It seems like everytime we go for a hike we end up talking about how we can't wait for.... Mostly its about food...sometimes about the amenities. I can't wait for hot baths--my family I am sure could guess that, but food! I can't wait for my dad's hamburgers,bbq chicken, and even restaurants like cheddars, OG'S, avanti's, chilis, and other places as well...YUMMM! I am getting things ready to leave and wrap things up....it's sad that I dont know how well I will keep in touch with my new freinds that I have made such good memories with. It is the first time in my life I have gone so many places with people I have only known a few months and loved every minute of it.....I still have to tell you about my amazing race...
