To Ostional!!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to write a quick note to let you all know that tomorrow I'll be leaving San Jose (at 4:30 in the morning!) to go and work in Ostional, Costa Rica. Ostional is a small town on the Pacific Coast that is famous for all of the sea turtles that come to the beach to lay their eggs. I'll be working in a small reading library, teaching little kids to read, trying to collect resources and setting up book clubs and stuff. Cool, right!? Also, adding to the awesomeness, my host father is one of the directors of the Biology project there to work with the turtles, so I can also help out with sea turtles!! From my understanding, I'll get to chase away predators and examine turtles to check for tumors. I won't actually know exactly what I'll be doing until I get there, but I'm pretty excited about it. I may or may not have access to Internet, so we'll see! Love you all! Also, I didn't take that picture. It's from Google. But I probably WILL take that picture! Hurrah!
