Primer dia de clases!

This morning I arrived at the bus stop at 7:45am and met up with mis amigos. We headed to Clinica Biblica (where morning classes are held) in San Jose. We arrived 30 minutes early to our 9 am class, I'd say pretty good timing. Our first class of the day was Health Care in Latin America. In class we discussed some of the millennium goals. Some of what we were learning was review for me due to my previous class here in Costa Rica called Community Engagement and Local Development.

After class we headed back to ULatina to have our next class, Economics of Health Care Systems. Before we went to class we stopped at a local pizza shop (not nearly the same as the pizza in the US). The Economics of Health Care Systems was very interesting to learn about. We mainly focused of the health care aspects of Costa Rica.

After class we took a tour of UCR. I knew the way down to the campus and new about a 1/4 of the campus. After today I'm pretty sure I now know 3/4. It's a very pretty campus and it's nicely spread out.

After our tour we decided to look into joining a local gym. The membership isn't too expensive and I think I may join for a month... but I am not set. The gym offers many classes including salsa dancing which I should learn while I am here.

Next stop was home. I ate a delicious dinner tonight! I had soup with chicken and chic peas. QUE RICO! and I am had rice (me encanta), lots of avocado, and salad of course! For dessert I had postre dulce! The best part about dinner though is eating as a family. I get to converse with my family and listen to their normal conversations and lives. My spanish is improving and I enjoy feeling more comfortable here in Costa Rica. I'm almost a tica ;)

Buenas Noches!
