From Puerto Jiménez to Falun

Hi everybody!

It’s been a long time without blogging…but I have to admit that I am always pending on what is happening here, it's just that I was a bit lazy-busy to sit down and tell you what have happened with my life.

In June I had my "school vacations" and they were pretty bored, more than I expected. My plans to clear my mind and travel a bit didn’t  go as I wanted, I had to work, so I stayed at home, resting in the little spare time and doing things, but close to Heredia.

The school semester started again and it’s currently a month and a half to finish college. It feels so weird, I do not know if I am really tired or semester is hard, but I feel it heavier than ever, and the anxiety does not help me finish it. I count the days to finish everything.

On the other hand I am very well, my family too, but no baby from my sister...buuuu! At this point I feel more desperate to be aunt than my sister and brother in law to be parent lol.

Another thing that steals my dream is what am i going to do with my life after university, I've thought about taking a postgraduate course at the university, although this option does not motivate me much, I've also been considering the idea of studying languages, I don't rule out to study another career or start looking for internships abroad or volunteer work, it would help a lot in my curriculum, I think the problem is all the options I have and I cannot decide for one. I also thought about leaving the nest, I think I'm starting to need my space and have my own apartment, but this option will depend a lot on what I’ll do with school and work, now I'm very happy with my work and that is another anchor point that I have ...

Returning to the updates, there's bad news, at least for those who remember my beloved Malpais band, Ivan could remember because once we went with Nella, Johan and my parents to a concert in Barva park. Well, the point is that the singer died in September. Fidel Gamboa who was also the composer of the group died at the age of 52 after giving a concert in Heredia and because of a heart attack. For obvious reasons, the group decided not to pursue more with Malpaís... sad!

But back again, happy to updates, this time I leave some photos of the Independence Day of Costa Rica and a ride some of the Ticos did to INBioparque, an institute that studies biodiversity and is also a kind of park of attractions.

This is the parade schools organized on Parque de Diversiones, on September 15th, they played really good music.

After the show it was time to have a little fun!

Some of the Ticos at InbioParque...

A big kiss to everyone! Hope to see you soon ...

Last Friday I visited Helene at her father's house in Mönsterås at the east coast of Sweden.  It was really nice to see her again and just have a little chat, have some barbeque, go for a walk and drink some tea with her boyfriend and sister. Unfortunately Frida couldn't come even though she had planned for it but I hope I will see her and the other Swedes and Fofo in August!!

What about you guys? What is happening in your lives? Tell me :) I still miss you.

Take care all of you guys. I miss you!

I just want to update you about what has happend in my life the last months... with some pictures. I can't believe this is my final semster at the Linnaeus University. Crazy, time has past so fast. I lovaeall of my friende here and the Campus life, even though I've started to look forward to come out to what we call "the reality" and start working, move to another town and do new things. But right now, I'm just trying to do the best of the time that is left. This week we started our thesis that we will work on for ten weeks, so now I'm really keeping myself busy!

How are you guys? Please put up some photos of your lives as well, I'm curious about what you are up to. I miss you, and I feel like coming back to Costa Rica soon, some day.

Hugs for all of you!

Hej Hej! Merry Christmas my lovely friends!!! And thanks to Helen for your pictures from the snow…brrrrrr, it seems to be cold in Sweden. Here it’s cold too, well it’s 16 degrees hehehe, but it isn’t usual for us… you know how it works here ;)

So I took a time to tell you a little about what is going on with me...

As I told you, I went to Panama with School. It was great!!! A very nice experience I would like to do again, but by airplane! 'cause 17hours sitting in a bus is not so nice for your ass...cri cri… :D

We had a meeting with the Chamber of Commerce of Panama, they gave us a conference about their economy and how it works in Panama, everything goes around services; the Panama Canal makes the country to live of logistics, imports and exports… We also went to the Canal and visited the locks. And of course, we also had fun!

My sister's wedding is getting closer, it feels weird, but we are very happy for her. By the way, I also have some pictures for her bridal shower…

I’m pretty fine, my family is growing old, as all of us I guess…my cousin’s son, Leo’s son, is two years old now, I remember at Falun when he told me his Wife was pregnant, now that small child takes all my energy every time I see him, he is sooo cute!!!

Some days ago I got my temporary driver’s license :) I’m so happy!!! Now, I have 3 months to practice a lot and then I’ll do like a “practical exam”, if I pass…then I’ll get my real drivers license, soooo, now Marce is on the road!

Well, now you know how I am...I miss you guys! Hope you all are fine...write back! or come back! that would be better :)

Puss puss y mucho amor!
