Funny Family

The host family I am staying with is hysterical, now granted no family is as funny as my family (just ask, they will let you know), but this family at times could rival them for humors moments. Last Sunday they took Anne (the other girls staying with them) and I into the mountains. The father felt it was very important that we see the mountains because they are so beautiful! So they packed us up for a day picnicking, hiking, and entertainment.
We started the day at a beautiful waterfall where we played around with kids. The mother, Anna, told Anne that there were snakes everywhere and loved that Anne was afraid of the snakes. She would pick up sticks and rub them on Anne's leg when Anne was not looking. They found shrimp and were delighted when Anne screamed when it was put in her hand, I did not have the adequate reaction to many of these shenanigans, it's like I had practice dealing with this behavior.
They then took us to eat lunch where they gave us quite an education in slang specific to Costa Rica. Non of which I can remember but the hand signals for some of it was so funny that it left everyone shrieking with laughter!
They picked new fruits for us to try, took us to visit friends of the family, took us to cool off in an amazing river when we couldn't take the heat anymore, and feed us in the river.
They day was really wonderful. They ended it by taking us to an over look of Jaco that has to be one of the most majestic views I have ever witnessed. We were there at sunsets and it was one of the days were the sunset was almost blue! So amazing to see both the mountains and the beach in the horizon as the sunset.
