Hi all, sorry long time no blog, it's been a whirlwind of a month with the course. We both graduated on Friday... yesterday, with a pass A after a gruelling 3 hour written exam and teaching assessments all week. So we are pretty chuffed. It was an amazing course and experience in general and we have learnt so much. We had a graduation party last night were our teachers plied with champagne and then copious Guapo shots - the local spirit which tastes similar to petrol. So we danced the night away, see photo's of our fellow graduates and teachers, before we had done too much damage.
Today started with a heavy head, but not wanting to waste our first day of freedom for a month, we headed to a neighbouring beach town and found ourselves at a Zoo and Refuge centre in the town, it was amazing, more of that in the next blog though.
What next...well we are going to stay in Playa Samara for a further two weeks and wind down a bit, take some day trips and see a bit more of the coast, then we are heading to the mountains inland in Costa Rica, first to a place called Monteverde. http://www.monteverdeinfo.com/. It looks stunning. After than who knows. We are quite keen to visit Nicaragua and Belize also, and somehow will come up with a bit of a plan once we get over the course. For now though we will enjoy the pura vida with a sense of acheivement and a bit more confidence that we can get a job as English teachers here or elsewhere...when we have had enough of having fun!
Well done you two.
