Happy Vappu!

Today we celebrated Costa Rican Labour Day, and Finnish Labour Day (Vappu), which was yesterday. In true Finnish fashion, we drank a fermented lime juice that Laura made, and ate sugared donuts, which we had to do without licking the sugar off our lips until we were completely done. Where do the Finns get these crazy traditions?! 
Here are a few photos from the last week. 

Drawing a blank on Mother's Day gifts?
How about this lacy and charming washing machine cover?
...So no one has to look at your hideous white washer underneath.


My friend Carolina and I went on a hike to an old tree house.
The view looked just like the African Savannah. 

Howler monkeys in the trees.
They sound like bears or lions, and then you get up
close and they are so shy and quiet and small.
A cactus in the front yard, with at least 3 or 4 birds
nests in it. 

The view from the base before a 6am run. 

Sunset! Things finally start cooling off..
