Let me start off by explaining the name of this blog post...yeah..gallo pinto is white rice cooked with black beans..and its amazing! haha you might not believe it, but its true! i eat it for breakfast..lunch..dinner..you name it, we eat it! its like, national costa rican dish! =) mmm..i am gonna miss that when i get home. =)
anyways, la pura vida is GREAT! =) my family life is still lots and lots of fun, we just slowly get closer all the time, its been an amazing blessing to have such a fun loving family! =) they are so helpful to me whenever i need anything, and they just love me as i am!
homework is a little less great, lots to do and not much time to feel like we can spend on our homework when we´d rather be talking to our families or just having fun. =) but, its balancing out well, i usually just work on homework with my sister, so it feels a little less like i am un-including myself. =)
this weekend we take our first group trip to limon, the huge atlantic port city. we will be learning about cultural diversity, as there is a lot of afro influence in the area, and though its one of the most rich areas with resources, its one of the poorest areas of costa rica. it will just be really interesting to get out of the big city and see somehting new and different! =) we will be going to a coffee plantation, and also a banana and pineapple plantation, which should be really cool! =) and, of course, we will be visiting the beach and hopefully not getting scorched! =) then when we come back on sunday night, we dont have class monday because of independence day! yay! =)
i am going to try to take my first dance class tonight, but as of now i am suffering from sore throat-runny nose-fever, so i am going to go get some killer antiviral stuff and hopefully get rid of this thing in another day or 2. my dance class is at a church that i think is near my house (i have to ask my sister for directions) and there are about 50 tica (costa rican) women in it, as well as 2 guys from my program who go there with their mothers. sounds like fun to me! =)
well...once again i have about eaten up all of my internet cafe time!!
i hope that all is well with each and every one of you, know that i am loving you from afar, and expect many greetings with a kiss on the cheek when i get home! (i swear, im bringin it back with me) =) haha love you all!
que dios le bendiga
