Hola, All! Today is my last day here! The school is sending a van to pick me up at 6:40 in the morning to take me to the airport. Yesterday I went to the bank to pay the exit tax ($ 26) so that I would not have to stand in line to pay it at the airport. I am not sure what it is for but I had to do the same thing when I left Guatemala.
Last night I went with a group of students to a restaurant in Heredia. It turns out that it is run by the family of one of the men who works at the school. The food was good and they offered a big selection, such as steak, chicken (pollo), seafood. I ordered fried shrimp with veggies........yummy! It is the first restaurant that I have eaten at since I have been in Heredia. Since we can eat lunch at the school for around $3 a day, I have chosen to do that, especially since this week I have had tutoring at 1pm. The lunches always consist of rice, beans and salad, then something like pasta, or chicken, or a small amount of beef. Before lunch today we had a program where almost all of the students got up in front of everyone and read a sentence or two in Spanish. They gave us our sentences; mine was about the bull. There were also 2 ladies and a man who played instruments and sang. It was quite entertaining. Just wish I could have understood more of what was being said!
Tonight I am taking my tico (Costa Rican) family out for dinner. I do not know yet where we are going; I left the decision up to Carmen. I am really going to miss them; it has been a pleasure to be part of their family for 2 weeks. But, I am excited to finally be going home to my family, friends, and my own bed!
Chao for now! I will be seeing you soon!!
