ISA Farewell dinner at Tiquicia
Farewell dinner at Tiquicia in Escazu .
Escazu must be the LA of Costa Rica or something lol Its super fabulous and high end.
Isa took us to a beautiful restaurant , that offered the most beautiful view of the cities night lights. No camera can capture the amazing view ... but i tried any ways. lol
Left my mark
Every one that has stayed in our host home has to make a personal page in the family scrap book and leave their hand print on the wall in the back yard. It was my turn to leave my mark , and I have been so honored and blessed to have ended up in the host home I was assigned. I never felt like a stranger, always as a part of the family. For some one who doesn't come from a big family, that meant the world to me. Saying my good bye's this morning left a little whole in my heart but all the great memories out weighs all that.

My contribution to the Heise- Barquero Scrap book <3 |
The time has come
3 months, 3 countries, 31 blog posts, 7 friendship bracelets, 100 mosquito bites, & endless adventures and smiles& laughs later... Im heading back home . Im really trying to come with terms with the fact that these are my last moments here. And im literally chocking back tears as Im writing this , i didn't mean for this to be soo difficult. But when you learn to love , its so much harder to leave. I can't really explain what experienced these past 3 months here....
I have met so many beautiful people , and developed so many friendships that I wouldn't have otherwise in Boston. I branched out and discovered things that I didn't think possible.
And had the opportunity to see things from a different angle. As I depart this place, not a new person but a new spirit I hope that the Pura Vida mentality sticks with me for ever and always.

It opens so many doors, forces you to leave your comfort zone. There is a large chance that I will NEVER see the people I met here ever again, but that is alright. We have lived for the moment and embraced all that Costa Rica has had to offer us.
I am a disaster of emotions , and I only have a few hours of sleep until I start my laugh- crying disaster once again.
The happiness I have discovered in Costa Rica has been irreplaceable and I hope to reconvene with it once again in the near future <3
