What I'm doing: Today was FULL of adventures. This morning during class we learned about the banks, and then we went on a walking tour of the city. We saw schools, churches, the library, the post office, and more. We finished our tour early and wandered the city. I made my first purchase in Costa Rica: shampoo, conditioner, a towel and a notebook for school. For lunch I had rice, beans, and salad.

This afternoon we had our first history/culture class. We talked about different types of observations. This weekend is a festival for the city, and we are supposed to take notes and observe what is going on. After class got over the real adventures began. We tried to get cell phones... One store did not have the chip people need. We went to a tiny store where an old man tried to help us at first, but he could not hear very well. Then a lady tried to help us. No one could understand eachother and she kept yelling at us... We ended up leaving because everyone was just frustrated. Other people in the store kept laughing at us too!

Right after we left that store we were standing on the street corner laughing so hard we were crying. All of a sudden a lady comes up and asks Sydney where to buy a cell phone. Who would come up to a group of white people and ask us where anything is?! Such an adventure though...we could not stop laughing at the afternoon's events.

What I'm listening to: Kari Jobe is a Christian artist who sings in Spanish and English. A mi Corazon Tranquillas is one of my favorite songs right now. Listening to Spanish music helps me with my listening.

Con mucho amor.
