Tres Semana

Hola amigos!

This is my first entry in Stew's blogging experiment, so sorry if my writing isn't as entertaining as his! It's the start of week 3 here in Costa Rica. It's been a busy few weeks, this whole 9-5 workday thing is really helping me understand why non shiftworkers go nuts on a Friday - the weekend rules!

This weekend just gone, we (and 2 of the girls in our "family") decided to try the ultimate Costa Rican tourist attraction - Zip Lining! The verdict is...it's awesome. We also threw in some white water rafting, just cause we're badass ;) I've put a video of it on facebook, and I believe Stew is uploading some photos as I type.

Back to Work...

Today we started at the volunteer project we will be on for the next 6 weeks (6 weeks of free work? This seems familiar somehow...). It's a private ambulance company based here in San Jose called "TrasMedic". The last 2 weeks at the hospice for AIDS patients was eye opening and challenging, but I'm not going to lie - I'm excited to be back on an ambulance! The language barrier is difficult, but the crews seem really nice and the work is exactly the same, albeit the equipment a little more dated and the protocols a little less rigid!

I'll report back once we have more stories.
