Our family, los Arroyos, are marvelos. They have a precious 2 year old son that Deborah and I couldn´t stop playing with. There is also a daughter. The food has been excellent.... for breakfast gallo pinto, fresh pineapple, and an egg.
when we arrived, our family led us down a chalky bumpy road to our little house in the dark, and our madre tica, or costa rican mom, told us not to worry if the house seemed to shake in the night because of the wind, that it was completely normal.
We went to sleep listening to a drum circle and woke up to roosters crowing at the dawn.
Deboarah HATES insects which I find hilarious. We have amused ourselves by spraying bug spray on the walls and watching the bugs run away. Deborah has been awesome...she is embracing everything and living in the moment. She is very adaptable and I am very impressed.
We live about one block away from an ice cream store )that is the actual address, and about a 5 minute walk from the school.
Classes are great, I think we both got good teachers and we were put in the right level. We took a written an oral test this morning.
Then we had an orientation. The school gives us a snack each morning for free. Today it was a little donut, fresh pineapple, papaya, and watermelon, and of course, coffee. Costa Ricans LOVE coffee.
Our school makes it very easy to sign up for activities, and so far we are signed up for a night hike through the cloud forest tonight, rain forest zip lines tomorrow, and the free dancing classes the school gives.
We walked down an incredibly huge and steep hill to get to this internet cafe, and I am not looking forward to the climb back up it, so I hope everyone appreciates this!! haha It´s good exercise.
I love all of you, especially Jared, and will see ya´ll soon stateside. Take care, your are in my prayers.
