~my month in Costa Rica studying Spanish~

I'll be in Costa Rica from June 17 - July 17. I'm going with a group from Weber State to study Spanish at a language institute called ILISA. We'll be staying with Costa Rican families.

Un día bueno

Today was definitely my best day in Costa Rica so far! I felt much more confident in class, and we played several fun games. I helped my team win at Guesstures with a word I learned when I played Drawn: The Painted Tower in Spanish. And they say computer games are a waste of time...psh!
After class we went to a bookstore and I bought Sleeping Beauty and, roughly translated, The Great Dance of the Caricaco (I can´t find an equivalent for this word) and other stories of Costa Rica. Then I bought an umbrella and a super-great watch made of coconut wood at a small shop called El Punto. On the bus-ride home we talked to some cool guys from Weber and we´re friends now. At home I talked with my family, had a yummy dinner, then had a good long talk with Chelsea - I feel really lucky that I like my roommate so much. Overall it was just a great day. I hope tomorrow is just as good.
Menu del día:
Breakfast: rice & beans, a banana, and toast with this delicious pineapple jelly they have here
Lunch: spaghetti with tomato sauce, corn soup, and juice
Dinner: Chop Suey with a kind of vegetable on top that I´d never heard of, but liked

P.S. Happy birthday Erica! I love you!
