Okay, I have to make this snappy since i´m runnig out of time on the computadora. Also, sorry if there´s weird punctuation, but this keyboard is a little goofy.
Anyway, I am at my host family´s house in CR, near San Jose. I Love love love everything!!!! my host parents are a bit older, retired, and they are very friendly. My spanish is getting better, but wow, i need lots of learning! I placed into intermediate high )much better than I expected yay), so i can´t get kicked out of peace corps for not knowing enough spanish, but there is lots to learn still. i really like the way the spanish classes are set up. i´m getting a real taste of cr, now that we´re done with the retreat.
i drank my first cup of coffee ever yesterday, and my second today. Since I don´t like coffee at all, i can almost drink it black, since it tastes the same to me no matter what. but hey, it´s a cultural learning experience, and maybe someday i´ll love coffee. ahhh only two minutes!!! okay, so the people are great great great. i like my little community. the ticos aka costa ricans are really nice, and so are the pc volunteers. I don´t know what else i can say quickly. okay there´s a community pool right up the road from me, and my companeros de spanish class )interestingly all three of us are the ones from wisco) want to invite some of the other vols to come swim there maybe this weekend. tomorrow all 35 of us are back together for some technical training, which happens approx once per week.
okay, gotta go, love you all!!ª! mucho much!
