the winds are changing

I can already tell a difference in the climate here. The rain comes less frequently, the wind blows much harder, and the sun is seen more and more.

The rainy season is ending here in Costa Rica, and the "dry" season is beginning, meaning that instead of raining every day, it rains every 2 or 3 days instead. This doesn't mean it does not get cloudy and dark and gloomy. The rain just falls less now.

The climate is nice. It reminds me of Easter weather. I always remember being at home for those weekends, the chill in the air, the warmth of the sun, and the wind blowing strongly. I love the climate here. Along the beaches of Costa Rica, it's much hotter and much more sunny. But since San Ramon is in the mountains, it's a bit cooler.

Yesterday I didn't do a whole lot. Class from 8-11, lunch, then homework most of the afternoon and evening. I went over to KL's house to watch Lords of Dogtown with her and her dear host brother. It was a good movie, not what I was expecting.

Today I spent the morning at school doing some work and talking whenever I could. Claudia and I have a workshop at the hospital this afternoon, and then I have class this evening. After that I have to write an essay about "El Area de Libre Comercio" for my economy class.

I can't believe how little time I have left here. It sure has flown by! 24 days! I know my parents are counting the days....and the hours too, I'm sure.
