Finally here

Hola Todos!
Well, today is day two of this adventure. Costa Rica is more beautiful than the pictures, and so colorful! My host family is amazing. My mama, Sara, is a teacher so very patient with me. I have a 24 year old older sister, and a 13 year old younger one. My papa works with computers, his name is Roberto, and he forces me to have a positive attitude, which is really good for me.
I've met quite a few students at the school but not many locals yet. I'll get a chance to go downtown later today and tomorrow. Everyone is really nice. We're travelling to Tamarindo Beach in Guanacaste on Friday for three whole days! Very exciting. I also learned we are going to zip line through the jungle canopy later this month! And visit some natural hot springs!
I also met a girl who has been her for a month and she mentioned a few volunteer opportunities in the city. classes start tomorrow, four hours of Spanish in the morning, and then three electives in the afternoon. Busy but exciting!
I am happy to be here. Still pretty nervous but am determined to learn the language and enjoy myself :)

Pretty wild. Pictures coming soon I hope!
Hasta Luego!
