I know its been very confusing for a lot of you, so heres my attempt at clarification. Last year I lived in Puerto Rico, which is an island in the Caribbean and a US commonwealth. Now I am in Costa Rica, which is a Central American country. Here are some things about my time here so far...
1. One of the things that I love most is that San Jose is in a valley, so pretty much wherever you are you can see the mountains.
2. Spanish is everywhere! I love it, and I've been pleasantly surprised at how much I can understand.
3. I work in a place called La Carpio most days a week and help with different things like tutoring and playing with kids.
4. I ride the bus just about everyday.
5. People stare at me a lot. Its a mixture of being white, redheaded, and really tall. Costa Ricans are short. Heres a picture of a mirror in a bathroom that I thought was funny cause it was so short.
6. I'm being safe (thats for all the mothers and grandmothers in my life).
7. The family that I live with is awesome. They have been so kind to welcome me not only into their home, but into their family.
8. God has been faithful to teach me about himself already, and I'm excited to learn more.
What an incredible experience. Soak it all up like a sponge! Miz Bonnie
ReplyDeleteCosta Rican Spanish (CINTHIA Y JUANPA) is so much easier than Puerto Rican Spanish.
