I have an address...kinda!

Another weird thing about Costa Rica is that there are no address or street names. It's crazy! In the States addresses are easy (as we know.) There's a number, street name, town, and zip code. Here, it's not like that..at all
For example, the other day we got a magazine sent to us at the Young Life office and this is what it said in the address area.

[San Pedro Montes de Oca Del Banco Nacional 300 sur 200 Este Casa Amarilla Esquinera de dos Plantas con Casetilla de Guarda Asoc Vida Joven de CR.]

CRAZY! It pretty much gives directions from the national bank and says it's a Yellow house with two plants, a guard at the corner, and a Young Life of Costa Rica sign.

BUT, YL does have a mailing box (in the outlet mall, which is funny) that you can send letters to! I know some of you have asked for my address, so here it is...

Lisa Ordway
Apartado 858-2050
San Pedro Montes de Oca
San Jose, Costa Rica

If you send a package, it will most likely get lost. Just sayin. So I would stick to the letters. AND... I would love some pictures. My room is bare, and some pics would for sure do the thing to spruce it up!

¡Mucho Gusto! =)
