Costa Rica!

Hello all - greetings from Costa Rica! I am sitting in the lobby of the language school I am attending, listening to the pouring down rain. It is very humid here and it rains pretty heavily in the afternoons, but the nights are pleasant and the mornings it is very sunny and kind of hot!

My fights were long but uneventful. We got into San Jose around 1am, and my host mom was there to pick me up without a hitch. Her house is nice, with many rooms to rent to students (she depends on it as a part of her income - as do many moms do). Sunday I met up with some students from my university and we walked around Heredia. Today we have been busy with Spanish classes, liguistics classes, salsa classes, and another walking tour of Heredia.

I have loved everything here so much - especially the food and the people! The people are so nice, always willing to help or just say hello. The food is amazing and fresh - I could eat here for the rest of my life!

Well, time to run to Spanish class - hope to update soon!

Love, M
