Lets try this again...

Ok. Who was I kidding. A picture a day? Or even a picture (almost) a day? Ha. Turns out this is going to be more like a couple pictures once or twice a week.


Oh you know, just a couple of ox going down the road in Escazu. Yes, this really happens here.

At the National Museum in San Jose with my college friends, Sofi and Carolyn


1 liter smoothies. Yes please!

Fish Taco bar in Jaco. Delicious food and swings as chairs. So fun!

Is there any better way to spend my day off?

So, I only have one full month left here in the Rica. SO freaking crazy. One would think that since I've been here for quite some time now, I would be a pro at life here. Wrongo! I'm constantly learning new things. For example, the other day I figured out a new bus route that cut down my walking time from 30 minutes to 5 minutes. This would have been so helpful to know about ohhh umm...maybe....9 months ago! I'm glad I know now though because rainy season is starting back up and it's a pain in the junk to walk for 30 minutes in the rain. I've learned that umbrellas don't really do a a whole lot.

Other things I'm still trying to figure out...when my host fam eats dinner. It's roughly anywhere between 5pm-10pm, not sure yet. I was in bed the other night reading at 10:15. I heard my host mom get home a couple minutes earlier, and then I hear a knock on my door. She asked me if I wanted dinner. At 10:15. PM. Dinner. I kindly said "No" and then went to bed. Because it was 10:15. At Night.

Ohhhhhh, and another thing I'm learning. Tengo hambre and tengo hombre have 2 very different meanings. Tengo hambre means "I have hunger." But when I'm hungry and mistakenly tell my host mom tengo mucho hombre, I'm telling her "I have man." Which is funny and dosen't make sense all at the same time. Woops!
