First Day in Costa Rica!

Hi Everyone!

 I'm finally in Costa Rica! I arrived yesterday and met some other people in my program from New York, St. Louis, Australia, and North Carolina, Canada, London, California, and so many other places. Then, we got dropped off at our host families. The town I'm living in is called Cedros, it's about a 15 minute bus ride to San Jose. My host family has 2 children, a daughter named Pamela who is 6 years old and a son named Samuel who is 14. My host mom speaks very, very little English, but that's what Spanish lessons are for! My roomate, Mackenzie is from St. Louis and she's doing the teaching project as well. She's been here for almost 3 months now.

I had my first meal last night and it consisted of noodles, carne, vegetables, and a cup of coffee. It was pretty good! I'm not a big coffee drinker, but it was delicious! Then, afterwards, a few of us went out to a restuarant for a drink. Had my first Costa Rican beer called Imperial, which was great!
