Further update! Today we had our first real day in Heredia. We started with a tour of the town which was nice. We got local insight on where to eat, shop and what bars and hang out spots are good. The rest of the day we have been exploring the town. Will came over and got to meet my family for awhile, and then I got to meet his.
I can't believe how much Spanish we both have picked up since being here! Keep in mind Will has no Spanish experience and yet he is managing quite well. I, on the other hand have been taking it for 6 years. I am really appreciating the experience to practice 24/7 and am trying to become fluent. There is a lot of local lingo here, and the conversations flow much differently than those of a classroom.
Well were off to meet up with our group at a local sports bar, Nachos! I guess the beer Imperial is a must to try while we are here.
Tomorrow we wake up early to go hiking along one of the volcanos. It will be our first chance getting out of the city and seeing some of the natural beauty around here.
Hasta Luego!
