We just finished our 2nd full week of language school here in San Jose, Costa Rica. We live about a mile from the school, so we take a taxi part way and walk the rest of the way (I can't walk all the way with my bad knees).
We've already learned alot, and our heads are full by the end of the night! We have been given tons of homework every night from the 1st day of school, plus we have to go out and meet with 10 Tican's (as they call the locals here) that we meet away from the school (same people every week if possible) and practice with them as our Interaction class. We have to fill out a journal on our times with these people and report them to our teacher weekly. On Friday, our Conversation teacher taught us to make the traditional Costa Rican dish, called "Gallo Pinto"...which is basically black beans and rice mixed together with cilantro, garlic, celery, onion and a sause. Its ok, but it's definitely NOT Mexican...or as good:).
We had a Cowboys get-together last Sat. and a Packer's get-together at our house last Sunday, which was fun. As you know, the Cowboys lost...so all of our fellow Cowboy friends have now switched over to Back the Pack with us! Can't wait till tomorrow to see how the Packers do!
