Christmas

I spent Christmas with friends that live about15 minutes away from Quepos. They prepared a whole bunch of food...most of which were desserts. It was a long day because after this we headed to backpackers to eat again. I was stuffed and felt like I had to eat. I typically never turn away food, but this time I wanted to. I ate anyways and had a good time. We took the leftovers to the homeless that hang around in the park. The program men enjoy giving to the less fortunate. I am glad that they get the opportunity to do so. Church yesterday on the beach was a blast. The weather here is absolutely perfect. High season has just hit and the beach is packed with tourists and locals who are on vacation. From what I have been told, just about everything shuts down for the last 2 weeks of the year. Stores are still open from what I have seen, but there is a ton more traffic and people walking the streets. For New Years we are going down to the water to watch the fireworks and bands walk the streets performing there routines they have been practicing. I am super tanned right now. Even when I wear spf 30 or 5o I get dark. I spent the majority of Saturday and Sunday on the beach reading, church, and trying to surf. I want to be able to surf, but I haven´t had much luck yet. Hopefully in time I will get better.
