August 6

Hello,

We{ve been without internet and phone for several days, exploring different parts of the country. In short, we have seen lava flowing from an active volcano, swam underneath a 70m tall waterfall, hiked through the jungle in torrential rain, and visited hot springs heated by the volcano. I also got to hold a toucan.

Our family here in Brasilito lives maybe 3minutes away from the beach by foot. They are a lot more animated than our first family. The dad used to ride bulls and his daughter and he box together. Our mom is super cute and sassy and they like to joke a lot and listen to music. So there{s always something happening. Also, here we have our own bathroom. There is no hot water here, but it{s so hot it doesn{t really matter.

My teacher here wasn{t very good, but the school was really great about changing my class tomorrow...

Right now there are several people waiting to use the computer, so I will stop here for now and we{re going to explore the beach!

They ran out of phone cards but I{ will try to call people as soon as I am able.
