Give Me a Shot

I have a number of doctor's appointments, this week -- which makes it a perfect time to get shots for this trip. One of the many things that I'm thankful for as it relates to Costa Rica, is the fact that not many shots are required. Another good thing about this trip is being away from the country...but in a place where the medical facilities are (thought to be) very good.

Over the past few months, I've been hesitant (at the least) to get excited about this trip; yet as I get closer to the day when I board the plane to CR, I'm beginning to get excited. The opportunity to teach English to a group of teenagers who live in an orphanage. Even though my passion is to guide at inner-city at risk young people towards a productive life, I believe that the two weeks in Costa Rica will serve as a way to give me time away from my passion and spend time working with people in a place quite different from my passion.

Pura Vida!
