After the disaster that I’ve experienced trying to actually get days to work, it didn’t surprise me to find out that I actually have an entire week off because the teachers are busy. Here in Costa Rica, taking the census is the job of the school teachers and, as a result, students get a week off of class. I was disappointed, to say the least, but I talked with the Projects Abroad office and nagged them until they promised they’d find something useful for me to do. At the end of my teaching placement, I’m planning to go to Barra Honda National Park to do conservation work with Projects Abroad. Since none of the schools are open, those of us who aren’t going on vacation have been offered the opportunity to do a week of conservation work there. So Monday morning, I was picked up to go to Barra Honda. Theoretically, I’m returning from my week of saving the world on Friday evening. This post isn’t actually live, I wrote it before I left because I currently have no internet gasp. Contrary to popular belief you’ll probably find that I’m still alive at the end of this time, though I might be experiencing some withdrawl symptoms. Lots of stories of the jungle when I return!
