Well, this is my first post for this blog! I finally decided to take the time to write about my experiences here in C.R. And no better day than today, because in exactly four months I will be headed back to the United States. I have almost a complete month's worth of stories and experiences to recount, and I will start on that as soon as possible. Right now, I am sitting in the library of the building where most of my classes are held: La Facultad de Filosofìa y Letras. (It's the building in the picture) It is an open building that has no roof in the center, where palm trees and tropical flowers grow. It´s nice to walk out of a classroom and see the sun coming down through the middle of the building, or even rain. Speaking of rain, it "mists" here almost every day, therefore there are rainbows all the time. It's just beautiful! It's time now for me to go home and eat lunch. My host mom expects me home usually around midday. It's a custom here for almost everything to be closed down from noon until one so everyone can have a full lunch hour. Everyone. Just one of the many things that reminds me how little Costa Rica is, and how all of the customs are pretty much country-wide. More later about...EVERYTHING!
