I just got back from Costa Rica last night.

I have realized that when my fam says "surf vacation" they mean it. All the activities centered around the stupid tide. And I didn't even want to surf.

You know how in France I tripped on everything and got hurt a lot (At least you should know anyway)? well, it happened a lot this trip too. I believe in foreign countries, my clumsy range goes way up. It started with a bad sun burn (lobster sun burn) on the back of my legs. It went on to me slipping on very slippery (and wet) rocks and falling into a waterfall pool (that really hurt. crying and now I have this icky bruise on the back of my arm near my elbow. Then I fell down some stairs, hitting my head on them. after it was scratching my foot on the back lower metal thingy of a seat in a van. Then I practically got eaten alive by the mosquitoes--which, btw only seemed to go after me; seriously, nobody else got as many bites as I did (they still itch cry ).

I have so many bruises and bites and scraps it's not even funny. xp *dies slowly*

But then... today I accidentally pinched my middle finger in the scissors so it has this grotesque blood blister on it and last night I stumbled out of a van and my stomach was feeling crappy and my emotions were crazy because I was surrounded by kissing as my step brothers were allowed to bring their girlfriends.. xp always kissing... xp always... and I started to get envious and annoyed at them and susan... but we got along okay

my gosh. My week sounds horrible. But it wasn't that bad. I had a great time despite those minor injuries and stuff. And the waterfall I managed to slip off of was beautiful and I ended up facing my fear of heights and jumping off it and into the deep pool below (It was not very high... It was like three waterfalls in one...if that makes any sense) then after I jumped I climbed to the smaller pools and it was so beautiful!!!!!! 3nodding xd I felt like that was were I belonged!! I felt like a nymph or an elf or something. I went behind a waterfall, lied in the water so that the water from the small falls gave me a back massage... oh it was so gorgeous and I only surfed one day... ah... I want to go back to those falls...

Oh and so many stray dogs! But they were so nice! or last full day, I was sitting on a beach while everyone 'cept my mom and I surfed. These dogs just walked up to us and I pet them, mom tried to shoo them away, to no avail. They ended up following her to the water when she needed a cool down. Oh and I saw a sloth and wild monkeys! the monkeys were so cute! I rode a horse that was kinda too small for me.. I was almost as tall as it... and now I am tan!! Surprisingly I only took 68-ish pictures... I also saw crocodiles... eek lol...yea..

*sighs* yea. It was a good trip.

Here's some pics of the waterfalls and maybe an animal or two.
