I woke up at 4:30 a.m. on October 8^th to travel with 13 other students to Manual Antonio for our first weekend off. We stayed in the Wide Mouth Frog Hostel in Quepos and spent the day at the beach and ate coconut snow cones, which was much needed after a stressful week of midterms! 

Quepos was a tourist area so food prices were inflated and the downtown area reminded me of the Jersey Shore strip which heavily contrasted with the conserved forest and beach area in Manual Antonio.

While we were away, almost all of us ran out of money on the second day because we did not plan for the expensive meals. When I was packing, I only brought $60 to limit my spending but after paying for my lunch in coins on Sunday, I  @font-face { font-family: “ＭＳ 明朝”; }@font-face { font-family: “Cambria Math”; }@font-face { font-family: “Cambria”; }p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal { margin: 0in 0in 10pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria; }.MsoChpDefault { font-size: 10pt; font-family: Cambria; }.MsoPapDefault { margin-bottom: 10pt; }div.WordSection1 { page: WordSection1; }humorously learned to bring more money than I expect to spend for future trips.

Note: I saw monkeys for the first time!!!!
