Goodbye Mastatal

Well we made it to San Jose once again. It was soo hard saying goodbye. The last two days were super sad knowing they were our last too. I talked to Arabella alot and told her i would miss everything greatly and she told me to think of her whenever i cook, and i told her than and whenever i eat rice and beans. Yesterday we went to the soda wtih sarah and marcos and dave and whitney and had one last choco banano and a choco max and also a plate of the most delicious fries ever and than walked around taking some pictures. Isidro got up and combed his hair before our family picture. it was so sweet. than we had a bon fire with smore with everyone and jorge and just talked about the good times. Its so crazy to think that i wont be waking up to frsh pineapple and empandas with homemade cheese anymore. no more helping sarah with the mosiacs in the kitcen or mixing cement, no more laughing my butt off with whitney, no more telenovelas at night and helping arabella cook. no more trips to the river or soda or bar with the gang, no more naps in hamock or falling asleep to therain. no more spanish classes with marcos where we always ended up just talking about costa rica and the people and life in english.
It was heartbreaking today the bus is supposed to come at 540 but at 530 i hear arabella yelling my name and el bus! so i grabbed my stuff and ran to the bottom of the drive just in time, with no chance to say goodbye to her or isidro or even marcos and sarah. I cant believe it. Even though its only been a month i feel like im truly leaving my family. It crazy how that happens. Arabella really inspired me to learn how to cook and the importance of taking care of a family and enjoying the everyday simple life. They all did. So than came the two bus rides to san jose where we just dropped off our big bags and are heading up to Monteverde later to meet up with the two canadian girls we met, Jaqui and Becky and to go Zipling. We have an awesome adventure ahead of us and Masatatal will always be our secret special place in the middle of nowhere costa rica.
