Going too fast! 5/30/12

This weekend was AMAZING. I'm upset that we only had one day at Arenal, but to visit a hot spring resort that has a BEAUTIFUL view of the volcano is something I will NEVER forget. There has been so many activities that this trip will be something I will never forget. I have been journaling every night in order to not forget anything. I have spent a great 2 weeks here and cannot believe we are down to the final stretch!! I'm not ready. I have not met one single angry person here...I can understand why, it's too beautiful a country, culture and people!! I have decided to try to research what the average cost of living is here, and what the annual salary is. I think this will be interesting for my inquiry project regarding happiness. I also want to look into what the average spent amount per household is. I think this will add to my happiness scale. It has been eye opening to see how the shops don't really have much STUFF in them, basic necessities. I have been watching the household items bought, and also what the household has inside. They really don't have much so I'm believing the happiness "calculator" has something to do with it!! I know that I will be very sad to leave, but you know you are enjoyed at the house because my mama tica has told me that I am welcome to back. When I told her I would definitely be coming back, she asked when and I said as soon as possible. She said I better come visit!! I really love this place and how welcoming they are. I am ready to see what the rest of the week has in store. I will be extremely sad to leave.
