I'm sitting by the pool of our hotel by the beach, just finished writing a bunch of postcards. It's been a nice day: cheap breakfast with heaps of food and long swims at the beach and pool. It's actually feeling like a bit of a vacation for the first time.

Not that I mind how we live back in Heredia. I kind of enjoy living like the locals, but it's also nice to relax and just act like a tourist. Easier, I suppose.

Some of the girls said they found a really nice restaurant and bar next to the beach. So I have a feeling we might be in for another big night. We're in a big tourist area though so I have a feeling they jack the prices up. I also feel like I'm spending my money too quickly, simply because I'm assuming everything is so cheap.

Hopefully spending will cut back once I'm in the poorer areas doing the volunteer work.
