Unfolding As I Go - Carole's travel blog

One thing that it is best not be afraid of in Costa Rica are dogs. Mostly there are roaming free even if they all have owners. And as we were chilling by this beautiful waterfall with Rocio and Africa, these 3 huge dogs come running to us, 2 rottweilers and a big german shepherd/husky. I got scared but tried to stay cool. Then quickly realized they just wanted some cuddles and company. They then decided to follow us the whole time, continuing the hike in the river bed and then all the way back out again, wouldn't want to leave us, so cute. Costa Rica is full of beautiful rivers with waterfalls and natural pools in the lush jungle forests. This was one of them really close to where Rodolfo lives so we took a morning to explore this place, walk up to a view point where we can see Panama just across the border, eat 'water apples' directly from the trees and even spot tiny colorful frogs.

Yes I'm just throwing myself in there, and what a better way to start teaching yoga then through a work exchange teaching 3 students: the host Rodolfo, born and raised here in the Caribean, and the 2 other volunteers Rocio and Africa from Spain. I'm definitely nervous about teaching but they are all 3 super nice and chill, so that helps to take the pressure off. My goal is for them to have a positive experience with yoga and help soothe their minds and muscles through movements and meditation. I think they enjoyed it and felt the benefits! It's just a few days but I'm having a really nice time with the 3 of them, the yoga, the nice dinners and breakfasts and fun conversations. Still need my notes for teaching Oh and my room is also the living room/kitchen/dining room! Very exposed but all good to sleep! Rodolfo's house Fun times and authentic Spanish tortilla de patatas
