Hola! I´m in Costa Rica!! Hello to everyone out there! Things are going well so far. Today I went exploring with a couple of other study abroad students and a host mom. Heredia, the town I live in, is beautiful. Very windy right now, but my host mom tells me it will be very hot soon. Tomorrow I will be going to the University for the first time to begin an Orientation week. I´m excited and scared at the same time. I just know I´m going to screw something up while registering for classes, lol.
My host family is pretty nice, although I have no clue what they´re saying half the time. I just nod my head a lot and say ¨si¨ which could be a bad thing, lol. The food is nothing crazy so far. I have discovered, though, that I like Costa Rican pineapple. I´ve gone my whole life hating pineapple, and here I am, liking the ones grown in Costa Rica. I never knew there was a difference but there is, lol.
The drivers are ridiculously crazy here. I would never drive in this place, lol, and do not recommend it. There is a speed limit, but no one abides by it, and the police don´t seem to care, lol. There are very few stoplights, but a lot of stop signs. Most people take buses and there are some people the don´t even have cars. They just prefer walking or taking the bus, and so far, I´m with them, lol.
Hope all is well for everyone wherever you are!
Adios de Costa Rica,
Amelia

When Jeff and I went to Costa Rica we rented a tiny little car. The rental car guy told us as we were getting ready to leave, "The highway ees fine, but the other roads - ees no so good."
Boy, was he right. Potholes bigger than our car! Be careful!
