What a glorious day to be in Costa Rica! We just barely got here but it feels and looks beautiful! We live right outside of Jaco (we live in San Jose). We live right next to the Jaco Beach! My family and I spent the whole day there relaxing in the sun and water. I was afraid a shark would eat me up, but as soon as I got in the water, I forgot all about sharks and just had a great time! When it started to get dark and the tide started rising, we ran back to the house as it started raining, there were smashed frogs in the road! Then thunder and lightning awoke and we ran quicker. We finally reached the house. We went inside, got in some dry clothes, and watched the storm brighten the sky. We watched as the ditches flooded with water. It was one weird yet exciting night!

Today we went into Jaco and found a store! It had food that looked American, but it didn't taste like it. Everything there is more sugary than in America, but it does taste really good, they mostly eat rice and beans anyway. The local things that we can't grow in Idaho, like mangoes, guava, plantains, etc., are much better here. When we went back to the house, there were 2 dogs there! They looked kind of like Chihuahuas to me. One was tan/light brown, and the other was black. We named the light one Gringo and the dark one Dingo, like light and dark people. They were really cool dogs!

Today we traveled down to Panama. As we entered, there were people trying to jump on our car! It was scary since I was so young. After that, we drove for a while. Then we reached the Panama Canal! We stood at the rail where tourists can look down and see the whole canal. It was cool watching all the boats and ships crossing through. Some were ginormous! Others were teensy. It was fun to spend time with my family watching all the ships pass through. What a special day! Who gets to go back into America and show off living in Costa Rica and Panama for a whole year, especially when you're only 7 years old!
