Hola, All! On Sunday I left Monteverde and arrived in Heredia that afternoon. I am living with a couple who don´t have children, Carmen and Javiar. Carmen is a principal at a school and is on a 2 week break. I´m not sure why Javier is not working; they tried to tell me in Spanish but no comprendo. They are a wonderful couple! Carmen´s parents and sister live next door. I think they have adopted me! Everyone speaks slowly so that I can understand what they are saying. This morning after Carmen made me breakfast, she sat and talked to me for around 25 minutes. It was a great way to start the day. They live about 12 minutes from the school; on Sunday they showed me how to get there and on Monday Carmen walked me to school. I had to write down the directions because there are probably 5 turns I have to make before I get there. The school is bigger than in Monteverde and has more students. I´m meeting new people everyday. Yesterday I met John, a Spanish teacher from Houston. Since he has been here for 2 weeks, he knows his way around and is taking me on a tour this afternoon. Today at lunch I met a woman, Tera, and her daughter, Bailey, from Canada. There don´t seem to be as many single women here for me to hang out with. The weather is warmer than in Monteverde, but not hot, and not as much rain. All in all, I´m going to enjoy myself here!
Chao for now,
Dawnie
