We have continued to embarrass ourselves while slaughtering the spanish language. Lo siento! Tomorrow is our last day of class, much to the relief of our teacher.
Our home front has been interesting. Our neighbor (a nice young american guy) is teaching english here in San Jose. His newest class consists of four local prostitutes. Last Sunday our host family experienced a loss. The paternal grandmother passed away from brain cancer. We felt quite awkward as extended family came and went in the aftermath. Then last night, the maternal grandfather went to the hospital with heart trouble, so things continue to be up in the air at home.
We have enjoyed our Costa Rican experience, but are excited to move on to Chile on Sunday.
P.S. We alsmost forgot to mention this little friend we met in the rainforest.

Sounds like fun! I can already tell that I am going to enjoy living vicariously through your journey! Now, if I were on this trip, I would have take about 800 pictures by now. What is your count? :)
ReplyDeleteThis blog is going to remind me of the mundane life I lead. Mowing grass, watching Wisconsin destroy Michigan, torching some chicken on the barbeque (such is my Saturday). Haven't seen a sloth or a prostitute in some time, and the only red birds in my life are cardinals (by the bird feeder or playing baseball on the TV). Looking forward to Chile encounters.
ReplyDeleteIs it a good sign that prostitutes are learning English?? The GOP will be happy to hear this I am sure. You guys heard the latest re Tiger Woods. He's now known as 'Cheetah.' Just keeping you in the loop.
