My First White Water Rafting Trip in Manuel Antonio Costa Rica

July 20, 2021by Marie Therese Lawlor1 Comment

Here’s my first time ever white water rafting in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Before TEFL started I got to go white water rafting with my friend UB. She and I were staying at the same homestay. I did not sign up for the class until last minute. I am glad I went.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2019 Rivas and About My Pinata

July 12, 2021July 12, 2021by Marie Therese LawlorLeave a Comment

Check out the pinata Norlan and I got during Christmas of 2019. The pinata is one of the three kings and he’s holding a Dorito chip.

Norlan and I went to his friend’s house for Christmas Eve. His friend had a daughter so Norlan bought a pinata and then we filled it with candies. Check out the pinata. It is so cool!

On Christmas Day, Me, Norlan, and Joselyn went to San Jorge beach and sat at a restaurant.

The day after Christmas I continued to work on my wall of abstract art. I used a lime green Tombow Dual Brush tip. I had started days before on my wall.

I also got a coconut. I found someone with a coconut cart and bought a coconut.

About Gardening

July 2, 2021July 8, 2021by Marie Therese LawlorLeave a Comment

Hello everyone! So last year, I decided to garden. I wanted to teach you all how to garden.

I bought seeds from Home Depot. I most gardened basils at first. I also planted lots and lots of flowers. I had lots of pics, but I have to find there. They’re actually just on my Instagram @UnitedColorsOfBennetonTherese. It’s a public profile so anyone can go see it.

Anyway, I will take screen shots in the future.

I used these Jiffy strips to start the seeds sometimes.

I also used these pots sometimes to start off the basils.

To start the seeds, I used a potting mix.

I also planted lots of lavender, but I was more interested in planting vegetables.

Here are the photos of my plants as seedlings.

Here are my morning glory flowers dried and turned into art.

Here are my sunflower petals dried and turned into art.

Here are more pics of my garden. I went by my apartment yesterday with my friend. It was pretty fun. I miss my garden.

Check out my awesome morning glory plants.

Here’s a close up of a morning glory flower.

I absolutely loved these purple morning glory flowers.

Here are some more pressed flower art.

Check out my art! This is my first ever pressed flower art! Wow!

Here is another morning glory pressed flower art.

I absolutely love this! Those are morning glory flowers up top and the bottom bit is a dried basil flower.

About My Favorite Vegetable Kangkong and About My New Shirt from Legendary

July 1, 2021July 2, 2021by Marie Therese LawlorLeave a Comment

Kangkong is one of my fave veggies. It is healthy for you. Kangkong used to grow in the San Miguel River in my little pueblo in the Philippines.

What is kangkong?

According to a source online: **Kangkong** or water **spinach** is one of the very familiar green leafy vegetables used in the South and South-East Asian cuisine. Botanically this fast-growing leafy vegetable belongs to the Convolvulaceae family, and closely related to the sweet potatoes but has no resemblance to **spinach**.

Check out this awesome kangkong recipe I found on Youtube.

The Adobong Kangkong is one of my fave dishes. I hope you guys try this out for yourself and your family at home. Thanks for checking out my blog! Love you all Rivas 🙂

Oh and check out my new shirt! I got it from Legendary and it says Legendary 🙂

I have been to Legendary before. It used to be called Heritage last year. I think someone might have bought them out and so now it has changed a little. It’s still like a little coffee, juice bar, snack shop, but instead of just that they now also do your hair. Sooo awesome!

About Making a Moscow Mule

June 28, 2021by Marie Therese LawlorLeave a Comment

I tried my first Moscow Mule in San Jose, Costa Rica. I stayed at Hotel Ave Del Paraiso and next to my hotel was a restaurant called Kracovia. I saw that they had Moscow Mules. I tried one there.

Hello everyone! When I was in Costa Rica, I tried my first Moscow Mule. I have always wanted to make one so I made videos on how to make a Moscow Mule.

Here’s instructions on how to make a Moscow Mule.

Me making a Moscow Mule today.

More about making a Moscow Mule.

Here are my other blogs. I have been posting about my Costa Rica experience on my other blogs.

The Last Baseball Games Pics

Here are more pics below:

LOL! I can’t remember his name, but he was cool. He has a number on his shirt so this must not be BB, but he looks like BB. I can’t remember what BB stood for, but it used to be on the baseball player’s shirt. I used to call BB- “BB.” BB was the ball boy. He also helped with getting water and towels I think. All the Rivas Gigantes baseball players were awesome.

Here’s the camera man trying to take videos of the crowd.

Rivas Nicaragua Food

June 22, 2021June 23, 2021by Marie Therese LawlorLeave a Comment

Google Photos made this video clip above for me. I thought it was pretty cool. Yes, that is me hanging my hand washed clothes in the bathroom. Washing my clothes was lots of fun. It was one of my favorite things to do in Rivas, Nicaragua when I was not going to Pinner’s baseball game, to the History and Anthropolgy Museum, Maxi Pali to visit with Yeffry, or going to the soda to visit Abuela, Gerson, Joselyn, and Norlan.

This is Yeffry my fave Maxi Pali friend.

Check out this horse I drew. I drew it to impress my friend, Yeffry. Awww! Aren’t I sweet?

My other favorite thing to do was go to get pizza from the pizza place next to the Chinese restaurant. I also liked getting desserts. The other thing I tried to do was try as many soda restaurants as possible because they had different foods.
