Bueno, ya me han pasado muchos dias sin escribir... sigo adelante con las adventuras de la pura vida!
Our traveling group with GAP is made of up 15 people, plus Eric our tour leader. Of the 15 in the group there are 3 Suisa, 1 Austrian, 1 Australian living in Canada, 4 from the UK, and 6 from los estados unidos (California, D.C. area, and Utah respectively).
Saturday, Dec. 15 officially started the GAP adventure and we celebrated with dinner in San Jose. A bit overpriced, but great company and lots of anticipation to get us through what we have now termed the ¨bend over¨. (For those of you that don´t know what I´m talking about, it´s now high season in Costa Rica, which means the prices have skyrocketed, so we´re taking it through the roof at some points... meaning dinner is 12USD instead of 5USD. :)
Nobody likes a long blog, so I will break down each activity as we go along...
Pura Vida,
Kathy

IF-- Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master;
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
and lose and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you, except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, if all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run--
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more-- you'll be a Man, my son!
