Montezuma y mi corazon

Entonces, possiblemente de idioma de ingles es mejor ahora...
I am in love with Montezuma and may not be returning home as planned. For the past week I have swam, ran, hiked and laid in the most impressive jungle beach in the world. I am feeling some strange connections here and just can't imagine leaving anytime soon. There are many reasons and stories to share, but know that right now I am staring at the Pacific Ocean watching beautiful Tico children leave school and I just know that there are many reasons for me to stay here a bit longer. I don't know what that means, but I just know that it is how I feel now.

Look up Montezuma and tell me what you think I should do with my life!

you are so crazy girl.. just come home to the place that is home to you... People here need and want you to be here where you are safe. you have given so much to the kids of Chavez... they did come along way with all that YOU gave them.. You are a great roll model for the students of Chavez.. don't let the land of beautiful living take you away from your own soil.. You have commitments here now with being a HOMEOWNER and all. YOur mother would be ever so UPSET with you being gone and so so far away... Kerri come home you silly girl. What about AAron.. what is he going to do? is he planning on staying there with you>??? you always seem to get caught up in the culture and think what a difference YOU would do. You can not conquer a Mountain on your own... think about it a bit longer.. like on your flight back home...

All I have to say is, you're having dinner at my house on Tuesday, August 14. And I have your dog to prove it. And he is making me (and Alison) sooooo happy...I'm glad your trip is amazing! Canoeing and Cape Cod were both wonderful for us. Keep enjoying! Love, Simon

As much as I love plants, I'm not going to water yours forever! Think about this-Simon and I would have to work out a custody agreement concerning Keba. It won't be pretty.

Hello - haven't heard from you for a while - where are you now? Are you and aaron moving around or staying put?

love and miss you

OK- you have to come home because I would like to trek through Costa Rica in February and need your advice ;-) I am so excited to see the pics and hear all of your stories!!!

¡Siga el corazón, pero recuerde su hogar!

Mucho Amor!

kerri,
You do tend to fall in love with the places you visit, I was wondering what makes this place so special? It is exciting to hear how happy you are, but how do know that you won't fall into some of the same stressful situations that you face up here? in due time of course.

Hola Marta y Nancy,
Mi Espanol es muy malo cuando escribo, pero entiendo tus palabras! Entonces, ingles es mejor para mi ahora, lo siento:

I have decided to move back to Costa Rica for three months (at least!). I have the opportunity to teach an English class in exchange for Spanish classes, plus I will be helping a professor from California start up a teacher-training program in Montezuma. I am very excited about this plan and have lots to do now to get organized and ready. This is crazy huh??

Write more in Spanish to me and I will try to write more in Spanish, but I am just beginning and basic conversation is where I am now with my Spanish skills. But, I love reading and trying to translate your messages, so keep them coming!
