For all of those worried parents, friends, siblings and teachers who have been anxiously checking the blog for the past couple days and haven't seen much...this is for you! We understand that there's not much else to do around there these days with the wonderful weather you seem to be having and we want to know that we are suffering just as much. We just got back from the beach...and let me tell you...the short wait to rinse off the sand and salt from a lengthy day of horrible tanning and body surfing was just awful. We're are all extremely homesick and can't wait to leave this 35+ degree weather. We're boiling in our private cabins surrounded by moats at the Cherai Beach Resort and we keep getting fresh flowers thrown on us. Not to mention this strange sensation of bloating caused by painfully delicious restaurant food. We're talking four dishes, per person, per meal people...ouch. Sometimes we're even forced to eat dessert or drink tea after. Get us out of here! And furthermore, this morning we thrown into the deep end at the crack of dawn so that we could watch elephants being bathed. They even wanted to PLAY with us. Can you imagine?! Oh shoot, we are being summoned again to devour one last resort feast before we depart back to FFC (unless the teachers have their way and demand we go to the beach again for one last swim after a huge breakfast tomorrow morning).
No, but seriously. We're all happy, healthy and having the time of our lives. Some of us have even darkened in skin tone. Enjoy shoveling...drive slow.
-Matt, Daniel and Harry
p.s. Pictures to come later, don't start filing complaints.

Enjoyed the update!!
Just bear down, you'll get through it. Even though you're miserable, it sure is great to hear about it, I've been checking umpteen times per day...
OMG, that sounds absolutely terrible!! I hope things improve soon. Imagine- beaches, fresh flowers and elephants- in the middle of winter- it's totally unnatural. If only we'd known what we were going to expose you to, we'd have seriously reconsidered sending you to that godforsaken place (or we may have come along!!!!)
Don't worry about us here at home- it's not actually bad now that the sun stays out until almost 7 pm so we can see the mountains of snow for several more hours each day, and the temperature is hovering around zero degrees! At least those us us left in the city are experiencing a REAL canadian winter- something all of you must be missing terribly. But don't worry, you'll be back to 'normal' soon enough!
So keep gorging yourselves, tanning and smelling the flowers and the elephants, as thank goodness we don't have any of that stuff around here!
We miss you all and glad you are well.
Write again soon.
"A hardship post but someone has to do it." I assume Mr B has said this to you a couple of times; to keep your spirits up.
Thomas and David would like to know if you have had to deal with the road side monkeys begging for food.
I'm not in Costa Rica with your mother and sister and instead am working 24/7. I'm building to a major tantrum.
That's terrible. Maybe we should ask for our money back. Imagine, playing with elephants and having full bellies. For shame. Now I must go put on my boots, hat, gloves, scarf and down jacket and go outside. ENJOY!!!!
Wow! Elephants, flowers and great food; an exotic and wonderful experience. Enjoy. Thinking of you
Sounds like your're all suffering terribly!! Glad it's all been so special. Can't wait to see the pictures of the elephants. We look forward to hearing all the details when you return next week.
I'm sure there will be plenty of snow left for you to enjoy when you get back - no worries there!
Okay, now I am ridiculously jealous ; ) Ha ha!
