As of tomorrow, I have been here a full month, and I am getting pretty used to the routine of living in Nosara at this point. I have started working at the Nosara Performing Arts Academy a few times a week, and my other time outside of school is spent surfing or with friends. While Nosara is a beautiful community and I love everything and everyone here, the one thing that never ceases to amaze me are the sunsets. I never thought about how we can't really see the sunsets in Houston until I got here. Now I get to watch the sun set everyday. One of my favorite parts of surfing is just being out on the water and watching the sunset over the ocean (surfing itself is pretty fun too though; I am improving a lot). I think this act of seeing the sunset everyday is good for my health. It grounds me, makes me appreciate the Earth more, and has set my internal body clock right. I have not slept past 8:00 in the morning a single day since I've been here. My internal clock is up and ready to go soon after the sun rises and ready to go to sleep by 9:30. It is a great feeling to have a consistent routine that really feels healthy.
Another amazing thing here is the stars. You can actually see them when the moon isn't too bright. When we went to see the turtles lay eggs a few weeks ago, I was stunned at how dark it is without light pollution and how many stars I could see. It was beautiful.
