The morning was amazing: the kayaking was great, the snorkeling was great, and the scenery was beautiful, and I'm a bit upset that we have to leave the beach. We did see a couple of married men on the island we kayaked too with some of the local young ladies, which is a little scary, but that goes to show many motivations of why people come to Costa Rica I suppose. Our kayaking/snorkeling guide was really laid back - he really made the excursion enjoyable and relaxing. The kayaking was strenuous only because I hadn't been lifting weights in awhile, but swimming around the island with some fins and goggles wasn't as difficult. I'm so glad I chose to do this - it's one of those things you never forget you did.
This afternoon we left Samara to go back to San Jose. We were to have a lecture this evening but postponed it to tomorrow afternoon. We just enjoyed the afternoon in San Jose and all went out to dinner together later on. I am definitely going to miss Costa Rica...not San Jose so much, but the more rural and undeveloped areas are what I will miss. I have enjoyed the people I have had the opportunity to meet and come to know, particularly the people I have been traveling with because let's face it, when everyone smells funny, sleeps on a bus together, hikes through the jungle together and experiences together, you get to know people just a little bit more. I'm looking forward to going home, but I am very lucky to have had the opportunities that Costa Rica has offered.
