Okay, there's like a 100% chance that I don't have small pox of the face. SOMETHING has happened to it, though. For the past few years (since I took Accutane), my skin has been pretty good. I seldom have more than one problem area. However, this week, my face has exploded. Seriously, there are like 9 or 10 very obvious pimples all over the place. I think they were probably caused by the sunscreen/sand/humidity/etc. of last weekend. I'm just slightly paranoid, though, because a fellow student told me that her friend got a skin parasite from the sand on one of the beaches here and it caused severe reaction on her face. Eeeek!
In other news, my conversation class took a field trip to the University of Costa Rica this morning. We listened to a discussion about political and economic relations between Costa Rica and the U.S. It was fairly interesting, although somewhat hard to follow for over an hour in Spanish. The best part: little empanadas and lemon tartlets at the end! I also ate lunch at a bagel shop and had a sandwich with real, solid cheese! That's one of the foods I really miss here...they have very soft, spongy cheese here, and it just isn't that good on sandwiches.
PS: While I was writing this, a flock of parrots landed in the tree outside my window. There were about 15 bright green birds, qué bonitos!
Gratuitous picture of Frosty. I can't get enough!

Hi Cookie, Who is Frosty? Is it your Tico's dog? So cute. I hope your skin clears up. I love hearing about your days.
Love,
Mama Larky, "pipi"
Yes, mama pipi, Frosty is their dog. He has really perky yet floppy ears, so he's kind of awesome.
