Traveling internationally has always been on my bucket list. I finally got my passport this summer. I told myself I was one step closer to Italy.
I have always dreamt of going to Italy. It all goes back to my catholic faith and falling in love with the Italian mass. There is a distinct beauty to the Italian language.
However our God of Surprises orchestrated an opportunity for me to travel to Centro America. Italy will wait for now.
It’s Day six of our journey and my group and I have already made many new friendships and memories. Costa Rica is a beautiful country.
As each day passes I take in the beauty of a new land, the ocean and delicious tropical cuisine. Each day has been full of surprises and new sights. The days are flying by and I understand more than ever how distance truly reveals the longing of the heart.
This trip has had a profound affect on my heart as I have felt greatly the longing to be where my heart is. My heart is back in Texas, just as the old saying goes, home is where your heart is. Truly my heart is yearning to be home, a home with a heart as big as mine and two strong arms that I miss.
Our home is where our heart is and mine is with him. As our journey continues I will write about the thoughts of my heart and on the surprises of this beautiful life.
Until then, Pura Vida Mae!
