WELL MAINTAINED ROADS
Manuel Antonio I learned today is only 100 miles away from San Jose. It took us FOUR HOURS to get there. We traveled through windy mountain roads and there were so many potholes! On our drive to the beach where we went horseback riding the driver had to slow the car down to almost a complete stop to maneuver the van around the potholes.
Being able to flush toilet paper
For the first week I had a difficult time remembering to throw the toilet paper into the trash can instead of into the toilet. At my tica home I am able to flush the toilet paper, but not at Mesoamerica or most other places.
HOT WATER (for showers)
The houses do not have hot water heaters. Instead there are little machines that are attached to the shower. I think I have finally gotten the hang of how to maneuver the nozzle so I get warm water. The first few showers I took were the quickest showers I have ever taken in my life because they were so cold.
INTERNET
I am only connected to the internet when I am at school. This has been a pretty cool experience though and allows me to spend more time talking with my tica family while I am at home. It has also given me a chance to spend more time reading! :)

yea the toilet paper thing is something i found out in Ecuador...definitely hard to get used to. i think the lack of computer access is definitely very refreshing. i don't know if i'm gonna have internet at my house but i almost don't wait it. Reading is lots of fun!
