We have arrived to Costa Rica. After a 9 hour layover in LAX, we were ready to board the plane. I am in Heredia now with my host family. They have been warm and cheerful. They make me speak in only Spanish all the time which is somewhat difficult. When we arrived, Will was greeted by his family and wisked away, they looked friendly and outgoing. I have already been fed the traditional staple- beans and rice, and she added a fried egg on top.
The family has been hosting for almost 13 years, with about 25-30 visitors per year. Needless to say they appreciate all cultures and have made me feel at home. I have already learned more Spanish words, and the mom is teaching me the local lingo.
I look forward to sharing more, tomorrow we go to school and get a tour of Heredia.
