Yesterday we arrived at the San Jose airport and were picked up by Professor Lyday-Lee and Linda Holland. We rode a charter bus to Mesoamerica where we had a short orientation and then met our Tica Moms. My Tica Mom gave me a huge hug and is so cute! My new name is Carolina.
Some of my tica family was at the beach last night so Dona Brenda presented me to them on the phone. I said three words: hola, bien, y si. Most of what I have said to my Tica family is how much I like the food. The pineapple (pina) is DELICIOUS! I also had papaya for the first time...and liked it at alot. :-D
Brenda's granddaughter is five years old and was at the house last night. We played with her dog...Gesbita. Gesbita is TINY. The granddaughter (her name is either Nicole, or Suzi) put a leash on Gesbita then walked the dog into the house with me. Brenda got upset about it and then Nicole (or Suzi) blamed it on me. I didn't understand a thing that she said other than the fact that she was pointing to me.
I absolutely love the weather here! The sky is a blue like I have never seen it before and the flowers are so vibrant. Pictures will be put up soon!
PURA VIDA (which means...cool, or great...life)
