We just finished up what felt like our first "normal" week here. We feel more established now that we have a car, bank account, and a cell phone. Our second week of Spanish classes went well. We continue learning and being a little overwhelmed by all that we don't know, but it's coming... we are glad we have another week coming up. We've thought about possibly doing another week mid-year around Christmas, but we're not sure if we'll do that. We will see how we feel later this fall. It's hard to know how much of the language we will just pick up once we start at Roblealto.
This week we enjoyed a couple of dance classes, a cooking class and an outing to go dancing with our school. It's fun to get to be a part of the Costa Rican culture in these ways! We rented a couple of movies from our local video store, which we are discovering are mostly "bootleg" - copied - but here it is legal to copy up to 20 movies from the original, apparently. We did laugh when 1 hour into one of the movies, it switched from English to Russian for just 5 minutes and then switched back! So apparently the movies come through Russia!
We are off tomorrow to venture out on the roads of Costa Rica to see a volcano and a Waterfall Garden (at least that's the plan!) We enjoy just getting out and seeing the beautiful country. Check back to see pictures later!
