Back on the Blog

Wow. So much has happened since I last blogged. I´m really sorry I didn´t manage to keep you all better updated. We honestly had no opportunity to blog. In Costa Rica we were so busy everyday... and it was too dangerous to go to the Internet Cafe at night, or even during the day it wasn´t very safe. We are in Chile right now. I thought I´d have a chance to blog in Peru but it turned out to be such a packed program and we almost never had Internet access. Anyway, Chile is very modern and we actually have had a relaxing time. The last few days have been like our recoup time to make up for the past 2 month. We literally never slept in once during our stay in Costa Rica and Peru. Most mornings we were up at 6:00am... not to mention the earlier mornings. Every night ended up late.... just because of the cultural difference. Your dinner is so late that when you want to hang out together and chat, it doesn´t even begin till 10:00pm. When we got to Chile we slept in till 2:00pm the first day. I´ve never slept in that much in my life. Everyday after that we pretty much haven´t managed to wake up before 11:00. The funny thing is that the days here go so late you almost have to sleep in. When friends get together they plan to meet up at 10:00 or 11:00pm... that explains why we don´t seem to be able to get to bed before 3:00am each night. I´ll try start back in Costa Rica and work my way up to Chile if I have time.

I have a little while to write up a storm.... so we´ll see how far I get.
