Okay, we’re going on a school trip to Tamarindo Costa Rica in June. It’s supposed to be really humid and in the 70’s and 80’s when we go. I adore it hot or warm. I Hate the cold. The thing is, is that in San Jose, CR, there will be a ton of mosquitos. Our prof suggest that we wear long pants and clothes. But its’ going to be sooo hot and I’ll get really hot and stick which is really annoying.
