Sorry it has taken me a few days to post something new. Weve been pretty busy here adjusting to our schedule and all. Sunday we went to al central de san jose (the downtown of san jose) we’re only like 10-15min by bus from there and its very cheap to take take the bus. Only 175 colones which is like not even 50 cents. We walked through one of the markets which had pretty much everything and anything you could want. Your typical foreign country market I guess you could say. My roommates Kacey who is from West Virginia goes to Elon and Ashley is from Kentucky and goes to UK have given me the nickname “Bulls eye” because it doesn’t matter where we go we always attract attention or stand out because ive got blonde hair which screams “you are different, aka your american!” when we were walking in the market, I passed two men who were working and they said “ hello” La Rubia (blonde) and then Barbie. Of course kacey started to laugh and I didn’t hear it but it was funny. The only words that guys know here to say to american girls are hello, wow, and beautiful. We think its pretty funny. Sunday night was the first meal that I actually finished completely and wasn’t hard for me to eat. It was just chicken and potatoes. Im def trying the food that my senora makes but none of it has been great. We went out with some of the people in our group to have a drink Sunday night. We went to this place called el cortel; Not really my scene, very americanized and many people too. It was funny though because in the cab I asked him if we could listen to music and the first thing we heard was steve miller band. Not what I was expecting in costa rica. But I didn’t complain. Hasta pronto….
