bittersweet bye bye

so as some of my dear MATs know, I flew back to the U.S. of A. last week from the lovely tropical, rural regions of Costa Rica with a serious health issue. I am in Providence, still awaiting what tests and probes and more tests say about this very confused body of mine. But in the meantime, I am trying to stay focused on getting better, no matter how long it takes dammit!

so these are some shots of my last weekend in Costa Rica, at a beach called Manuel Antonio. Carol, Rochelle, and I just hung out and waited until the sunset.

i'll keep in touch....you'll never get rid of me!

Good ol' Morocco

Here is a special item for all of the MATs, complimentary from Morocco!

Bugs in Mexico

I thought this would be an interesting way to show some of the things I see everyday in Veracruz on my one mile walk to work.



It takes me back to the days of Herbie (before Lindsay Lohan was born).

Girls Gone Wild

...in the frigid waters of La Fortuna. We went on a trek to La Catarata in this tourist town and decided to just jump in there....why not, right? The trail going to the waterfall was pretty steep but absolutely doable. We were lucky enough to have a guy on a rock with free hands to take a picture of us. From the left: our beloved Carol in purple, a Tica friend named Raquel, SIT teacher trainer Susan, and yours truly, la chinita.
