Oh Yum!!

We went out for Gelato after supper tonite- both were sooooooo good. Todays conversation was all about relationships and peoples background- We realized how diverse, yet how similiar we are. Kisha wears her ipod and dances all over the place trying to teach us all the cupid shuffle. Last night she taught me to "step" to R. Kelly's "step in the name of love". Can't wait 'till my birthday tommorrow.

Day 2

Oh my Gosh , This is so tiring- We surfed this morning in the rain, hiked through the mud and did yoga on a platform in the middle of the jungle (while it downpoured). Fortuanately the sun came out for us to shop for a bit in town.

The Hike

Our hotel is on the ocean and the restaraunt practically on the beach- When we hiked it got really hot and then rained and felt so good. We came back to the hotel for a healthy lunch before yoga class at 6:30. Check the pics.

black sand - By Kisha

At 6 we had to meet our instructor. ( Guess what no clocks) Being the black ladies that we are, we were late. We were given some fruit and our water for the week. She told us that we will start with surfing in the morning at 6:45 am. We met 4 other American women that will be with us for the week. We were the only ones that came with each other. These are some brave women. Their names are Lindsay, Courtney, Shawna, and Laura. They are really nice and everyone is in their 20's, but Sarah and Laura. (ha ha, I'm still young and youthful) The ladies decided to meet to go to a pizza restaurant that was suggested by our instructor.
She told us to walk down the beach. These are the directions. We were lost. No one gives directions. No street signs, no street lights, and nothing but sand. Good thing we were with the others, because we would not have made it. Sarah enjoyed the food and feels like she is in her element with this healthy stuff. I may starve. Everything is nasty to me. Pray for me.

Did I mentions that we are the only ones that are married or have kids. Way to go moms!!!!!!

We're Leaving!!

Leaving the Hyatt at 4:00 am this morning was painful, I was really tired, and it was cold and thunderstorming- still we were excited to be leaving. We slept on the way to Miami- but my evolving motion sickness made the flight to costa rica and the drive to the beach very unpleasant to say the least. The poor cab driver had to pull over at least 3 times, then he was nice enough to stop at a gas station and let me clean up. He said I wasn't the first passanger who couldn't handle the hilly windy roads. The country side of CR is really beautiful, but didnt take a lot of pictures being so sick- Well we are to meet in the Lobby at 6 to get the scedule for the week. Just wanted to post a quickly and upload the few pics we took at the airport. Ciow!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Mary jo is 59 !!! and we celebrated at the union last night. Grandma looked great, and we all had fun eating popcorn, playing in the fountain, sharing double scoops of delicious babcock ice cream and listening to bands play. Cheers, to another great year Ma!!! - and today it's off to Chicago, Kisha and I will need to be at the airport by 5 am tommorrow morning and our adventure will finally begin.

oh no!

After hearing the surf camp is a killer "boot camp" workout, we decided to start swimming more and working out harder to make sure we would be up to the challenge. But the plan seems to have backfired. I woke up Monday feeling horrible and Kisha went in to a doctor on Wednesday for the flu and is still sick. Please pray for her to be well for the trip, we leave in 2 days.
