Today Lee, Dylan, Dani and I went on an exploration to say the least...
At 10am this morning we headed to San Jose in order to see where our classes would be held. Are classes for the morning are located at Biblica Clinica, the main private hospital of Costa Rica. In order to get to class each day we have to take a bus from Vargas Araya to San Jose (15-30 minute bus ride) and then we walk 8 blocks turning right and left as we go. The walk there is not too long, maybe 10 minutes, but it's worth it!
On our way to San Jose Lee's host father gave us a tour of the city and gave us advice on what to see and do within the city. Once we explored San Jose for a bit, we headed back to ULatina, where we take classes during the afternoon. I let my friends know where the hot spots are to eat, which bars to go to and more.
Later on I took my friends on a walk to Sabanilla, my old hometown. It was nice being familiar with an area. I took everyone to Simone's house (a girl from last trip). There Simone gave advice to the new students and told them about her adventures here in Costa Rica. It's nice seeing a familiar face while being abroad.
Next stop was to get AGUA! Yes we were very thirsty and had been walking from 10am-4pm... so many hours. We decided to go to this bar nearby called Chicago. It was a nice place to go and it's known for having many people from the U.S. there during the week.
Next stop... no where. I went to see where everyone lives and then afterward, Lee and I decided to explore are neighborhood so we walked for a few hours getting a sense of where we lived. Later on we met these two Austrians who were a year younger than me who were in Costa Rica working to protect sea turtles. They seemed interesting and they live very close so it's good to know that many students are hosted throughout our neighborhood, not just people from our program.
Finally I made it home to dinner. At dinner I had arroz con tuna. It was delicioso! Dinner was fun because I talked with my host parents and sister about everything. Later on we discussed my dogs and I even showed them pictures of my family members (including my dogs of course).
After dinner I started blogging (hey what do you know?). But now I must prepare for my first day of class tomorrow which I am very excited for!
Buenas Noches
