Hello!!

Yesterday was amazing! We only had class until 11 and then Vera took us to San Jose to visit el Teatro Nacional.  It was soooooo gorgeous! The architecture was incredible and the art was so beautiful.  We got to see a performance of four men playing guitars.  They were so good! They played some “classical” Costa Rican songs.  Vera sat next to me and was adorable the entire time.  She kept leaning over and whispering about the songs to me! Afterwards, she was like so did you like it?! Afterwards, we got to look around San Jose for a bit…where I found a bootleg version of Cars 2 in spanish for 2 dolla HOLLLAAAA.  I seriously could not be more excited for this purchase! About twenty minutes later, the bus came to pick us up to take us home.  Brittany, Miguel, and I decided to go to Taco Bell for a study session. It was AMAZING. They apparently have fries here at Taco Bell.  Aka, they make fries supreme instead of nachos supreme.  It was a delight. I’m totally going to tell someone in the States to start selling fries at Taco Bell. J

And today, it’s finals day.  The first ones are over. Not sure how they went. Currently at Mickey D's going to study very soon. 

Wish me luck!

P.S. I wanna fill you in on my family life a little since I haven’t really at all.  Mis padres have been so cute lately! The other day, my padre came to sit with me while I ate lunch and was asking how long it was until I was leaving.  He seemed so genuinely upset that we had so little time left together.  And my madre has been trying to teach me recipes of everything that she cooks!  The only issue is that she never tells me how much to put in anything…so I may just have to use my resources to try to make something similar! Also, my padre was talking to me about he’s upset that he isn’t supposed to use English with me because he could really use the practice. So he said, “Chiquita (the cutest term of endearment ever) next time you come, we are only going to speak to one another in English.” For some reason this made me smile so big! Also, my hermana is finally back from the States! She’s great! She keeps telling me about all these cool places to go in Alajuela…it’s really making me wish she was here the whole time, but that’s ok! Over all, I am really enjoying my time with them…but they definitely don’t compete with you guys.

12 days and I’m hoooome! Five of those glorious days will be spent on the beach in Condovac  starting on Friday, and I couldn’t be more excited! Last BIG trip of this wonderful adventure!

Love you all very much!
