Wow I have not updated in a while. School has been busy and I’ve been able to do a lot of teaching, which is great. But, on top of things due for college and the state, I’ve been busy and forgetting about this whole blogging thing… So, I will start by talking about Poas. On Saturday, the 6th of February, the five of us decided to go to the Poas volcano for the day. All the information we looked up said the bus would leave at 8, so we decided to meet at 7 to catch a taxi to the bus station. My alarm didn’t go off because I had it set to weekday (oops), so I woke up at 6:45… I got ready real quick and we met up with the other girls. However, for the bus they don’t sell tickets, you just have to line up. There is only one bus that goes to Poas, so it is at high demand. The line was unorganized, and even though we were some of the first people in line, we were still worried that we might not get on. We then find out the bus doesn’t leave until 8:30. It was a little late on top of that, so at about 8:45, everybody started pushing to get on the bus. We all got spots though which was good!
On the bus we met an older couple who had a tour guide with them. We talked to him a little bit, because he was going to school to get his degree in tourism and knew a lot of cool stuff to do. We ended up seeing them while we were hiking around the volcano, and the couple insisted on taking pictures of all of us. They took about 15 pictures of us on my camera, and seemed to be pretty entertained by it… it was quite funny!

We really lucked out at the volcano though… everybody we asked said it is usually cold and windy. But, when we went it was warm and sunny and 100% clear. I’ve heard others say they couldn’t even see the volcano when they went because it was so cloudy. So, we had a lovely day looking at the volcano, lake, and having a picnic and hiking around a little bit. Yayyy!
