| Thanks to Rebecca, I was inspired to do a massive summer update too...
Most of the summer wasn't very eventful at all. I studied, spent a lot of
time in the library, fell asleep on my books every night, took a test, things like that... No pictures for that part of the summer b/c there wasn't much to see.
But then, I went on my bar trip 
Meet the crew:
Poca Terencito Neeners Jada
   
Monkey Arms Pebe Tizzy Bun Bun
   
First, six of us (the crew minus Tizzy & Jada) went to COSTA RICA, where I discovered mamonchinos (aka rambutans). I ate an entire bag all by myself 
Here is some Starbucks-grade coffee beans vs. not-so-Starbucks-more-likely-Juan-Valdez-grade coffee beans ...so all of you Starbucks addicts out there don't feel as guilty about paying $3/cup.
 
Even a non-coffee drinker like me can enjoy
Costa Rican coffee ... in very small amounts. Costa Ricans don't burn
their coffee beans, & there's a distinct taste of cinnamon. Yummmmmmy 
We went rappelling down the waterfalls, hiking up to a volcano, swimming in hot springs, & just plain ol' lounging at the beach.
   
   
We also went ziplining thru the rainforest. The 1st day, it started pouring so we stopped early--after getting drenched, shivering & generally being miserable in the middle of a wretched forest  . The 2nd day, it didn't rain at all, & we were much happier
The Tarzan swing, on the other hand, was more like screaming for your life while swinging thru the forest. The pics don't give justice to how scary it was.
 
Guess which one of us fell out of the raft? No, it wasn't me.
(Hint: five of us are paddling thru the rapids, but one has her oar flailing thru the air).
It was Toro's very first time guiding a raft, but he didn't tell us that until the very end... 
All in all, Costa Rica was great. Rappelling was by far my favorite activity. You can't leave Costa Rica w/o doing it.
Pics from CHINA& KOREA coming soon!
