arenal, la fortuna waterfall, monteverde, etc.

so we headed to the mountains this weekend to do some orientation with my professor and the dean of education. it was a good time. mostly because of it's beautiful scenery. here is a waterfall we hiked to...notice the people swimming at the bottom.



also, here's a view of arenal volcano from our van ride. nice.

and...perhaps the coolest part of it all would be the ziplining through (actually, it was more above) the rainforest. hopefully this video will load and you can watch it.




started student teaching today. so far so good. i like my mentor teacher, so that is excellent. right now i'm just trying to observe it all and get my feet on the ground.

i also move into my new host home today. let's hope they're good, because i will be with them all semester. cross your fingers.

more to come.
