Hola familia y amigos!
Everything is still great...we don't start classes until Monday, so we've been busy getting settled, having orientations, getting to know one another, and of course, speaking spanish and planning trips. Tomorrow a bunch us are getting up before sunrise to head about 4 hours away to a beautiful beach, which I am very excited about!
If you want to come visit me, you better like rice and beans with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm getting used to it though, you learn to enjoy it.
I thought that being here would make it easier to plan my summer backpacking adventures, but it's actually getting harder since I keep learning about new places that I want to go! I definately need to cut out some countries and spend more time in each...Central America has so much to offer and there are so many options. Evya, we have some planning to do!
Everyone needs to keep me updated on their lives back home...I miss everyone, and its definately been an adjustment not having internet in my house. Once we start classes I should have wireless access Mondays-Thursdays during the day, but other than that, I have to harass my friends who have internet, and I feel bad about doing that too often. But i'll figure it out, so bear with me!
Con mucho amor,
Raquel :)

Hey,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are settling in well. I have a novel in the works ready to send your way.
PS. The rice and beans overload made my stomach go haywire the first two weeks, then I got used to it and when I stopped eating them my stomach went haywire again! Ah the life.
Start using names of neighborhoods and places, I'm re-living my life in Costa Rica vicariously through you so I need to be able to sufficiently stalk you via a map. (What neighborhood do you live in, what beach are you going to...)
You will get used to not having internet in your house very quickly (I lived without in in DC for like 8 months!! and in Costa Rica the whole time - we had it, but it was too expensive to ask them to let me use it and it was slooooooow dial up) But be very careful about carrying your computer around a lot - the one time I brought mine out of the house it got stolen, so just be SUPER conscious and always have it wrapped around your arm or leg. Don't place it on the ground next to you! (Don't get worried Momma Klein you raised smart girls - smarter than me!)
I'm so jealous of your time there. I swear tips and tricks coming soon. :)
Besitos!
Amy
