I made it to Costa Rica! I still don't really know how to get around very well so it has been hard to use the internet and phone. It will get easier once I get to know the place. But I do know that this place is absolutely gorgeous!! It's surrounded by mountains and everything is soooo green. Also, it's 80 degrees and sunny today. :)
It turns out that they arranged a private apartment for me that is connected to a Costa Rican family's home. The apartment is great, I will attach photos at a later date. The owner of the house is name Eugenia and she is incredibly welcoming and sweet. She took me to the supermarket last night which was a crazy experience because there are 525 colones in one dollar. You can imagine how hard it was for me to figure out how much I was spending! Later she invited me into her home and we chatted for a while over tea. She also let me use her phone to call mom and juan..neither of which answered. :( But she said that you can call the house if you need to. The number is 506.2224.4151. Carlos loves his new home. He spent all of last night playing and exploring and slept soundly on the pillow next to me. Also, Eugenia has a neice that stays with her a lot name Valeria who loves Carlos to pieces. However, we went to to school first and the director told me that Carlos could run around because no one was there. She forgot to mention that the back door was open...Thank goodness the garden in back is completely closed off. I found him running around like crazy in the garden, happy as a clam covered in grass.
