Here are some pics of my room, the view from the front door of my homestay, and the city of Heredia.

Day 2

After some time on the internets --still trying to figure out these keyboards--- and a nap, i felt much better and joined Jody, a girl from Texas who is teaching English at the language school I will be going to, and Daniel, my host mother´s son, out in Heredia last night to meet up with some of Jody´s teacher friends. It was great. I had my first Imperial--yummy--and got to talk to the Americans about their experiences here so far and got a lot of info about the country from Daniel. Turns out one of the couples who teach English at the school are from Bellingham. Small, small world.

I am really looking forward to starting the language course tomorrow morning and I am also going to take a cooking class and sign up to go on some field trips around this area.

Today I am going to venture out and try to my bearings and find a phone card to call home. I feel so disconnected not being able to talk to anyone--something I will definitley have to get used to.
I am going to try to upload some pictures soon as well.

Esta Bien!

I´m here!

Finally in Heredia.
The woman I am staying with is so nice. She greeted me at the airport with a big hug and lot´s of questions. We had dinner with her son and her boyfriend and they spoke Spanish the whole time and I just sat there and smiled. Not knowing much Spanish is really overwhelming and makes me feel like a little kid. I should have practiced with the Rosetta Stone CD´s more! My classes start on Monday though so hopefully I will feel more confident after that.
I´m missing all my people back home but really excited to see how this little adventure plays out!
