Un Dia Extraño

Hoy fue un día muy extraño. El funeral de mi abuelita había hoy... Pero yo estoy en costa rica... y yo fui a un funeral aquí en quepos del abuelo de una buena amiga. 
 I am now in Quepos, Costa Rica.   
It is so nice to be back here... I have gotten to spend time with my old host family here and it is just like old times - only I know more Spanish now.  I am able to communicate so much more than I could last year, thanks to my awesome friend, Rebeca back at home :]  

Even though I am happy to be here, I fell a little lost right now.  I am trying to be ok with that but it is hard for me to not to know what comes next - especially since school back in Tucson started today.  Every time I start to think about it, I just move on to other things.  

My host mom told me... don't be sad.  When I feel sad, I just decide to be happy (or something like that). 
Also, random fact of the day - I saw someone riding his bike down the freeway holding a mattress on one shoulder.  I don't know how that is even possible.

    It's natural to feel lost in a new place, leaving behind what you are used to.
    Great idea to decide to be happy and in the present.
