Although we still had 2 days left of Fall Break we decided to head back to San Jose today because we needed to use tomorrow (Tuesday) to write our Nicaragua essays and reintegrate ourselves into life in San Jose (since we’d been gone for over 2 weeks). We woke up early to buy our tickets, but the office didn’t open for another 2 hours. We killed time meandering the beach and eating gallo pinto at a Soda. We bought our tickets for a 2 pm departure and decided to spend the rest of our day enjoying a final half-day at the beach. After a morning of the beach, we headed back to the cabina to pack up and grab a quick lunch. After lunch, we jumped on our bus and from 2-7:30 made the long trek back to San Jose. It was back to reality and I found my bus stop and made my way home to Tibas. I was excited to see my family, as I truly did miss them these last few weeks. I was immediately greeted with lots of hugs and happiness and everyone was excited to hear my stories and experiences in Nicaragua. I ate dinner, made my first phone call to the States in a few weeks, enjoyed time with my family and headed off to bed.
