I finally managed to get some internet access after the few days that I have been here, so let me catch up. I reached my destination on saturday, and i was immediately introduced to my host family. I spent the first twenty four plus hours with my host family, which was quite the experience. I had no expectations going into it, but if I did have some they would have been far exceeded . My host mother's name is Doña Ana, my host father's name is Don Rodrigo (Gato is his nickname), and my host sister's name is Diana. I couldn't be happier with the vivacity of my family. They are truly conducive to my life style. Gato is quite the prankster, Ana chooses to walk most places rather than ride the bus, and when I met Diana she had just come back from the beach. Long walks on the beach, pranks included; definitely a match made in heaven.
Today I had orientation at ACM, and it was definitely one of the best orientation processes that I have encountered. Free organic chocolate from the Limon province of Costa Rica definitely swung my vote. I can't wait to get to know my ACM family, and embark on my Costa Rican adventure with them. My excitement is building by the second!
I will be posting pictures of my host family and home very soon along with go-pro edits (I have to make time for documentation, my schedule is very much up in the air at the moment). I hope to continue updating the blog at least once a week. Until next time, pura vida my friends.
