Our trip thus far:
The good, the bad, and the memory-makers
- The house we're renting has 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms... but half of the bathrooms in the house we're renting don't have hot water and they have to order the broken part from Panama??
- Jean Paul and I have out own little separate apartment... but I somehow ended up flat on my back outside our door because I thought there were only 2 steps down to our door and there were actually 3. Ouch.
- The power went out 5 times the first night we got here but candlelight really got us into the Christmas spirit.
- Apparently it has rained all month but we haven't had a day of rain since we got here! Bam.
- Watching Mitz (my mother) repel down 6 waterfalls was both the most classic experience of my life and most impressive event I've witnessed in a while.
- Jean Paul and I might be the cutest couple ever-- we bought matching braided bracelets at the market.
- Anytime we drive somewhere new usually the first thing locals say is "Wow! That's a big car." Apparently Ford Expeditions aren't too common around here. We also had someone ask how many people we thought we could fit into it.
- Guess who's finally had time to sit down and read a book?! Best part about not being in school for sure.
- And don't worry- Mitz was thinking ahead and we have both Christmas lights and a Merry Christmas banner up in the house, brought here all the way from Utah.
Don't mind me throwing up the "hang-loose" sign on the far right... Wrong culture? Ehh whatever.
What a happy Christmas party
