A lot has been happening and this is just further proof that I suck at blogging. However, I'm truly making an effort, so today I shall post a few pictures and will DEFINITELY do more of them very soon. =]
On Wednesday, I stuffed myself to the gills at cooking class. Literally. It was DELICIOUS. So delicious. I tried to write down as much of the directions as I could so I could make it for myself later but dang, it was really hard. We made gallo pinto (the bean mix in the picture), tortillas con queso, empanadas and so much other stuff. I wanna try making some of it when I get home, you folks are missing out. The woman in the pictures is Flor, and we were cooking in her backyard in her massive outdoor kitchen. It was quiet and beautiful out there and all morning there was a light, misty rain all over the place. We had some legitimate cafe and it was so good... I would have breakfast there every morning if I could!

On Friday morning, we met with our intercambio group. Basically, they're local ticos who are learning English, so we all hang out and talk and play games to make their English better and give us a chance to practice our Spanish a little too. =] It was a lot of fun - we're scheduled to do it every week and I'm legitimately looking forward to it! Gives me a chance to make an attempt at speaking their language a little.
And that's the total of my first week in Costa Rica! (Or at least the parts I have pictures of.) I'm awful at this blogging stuff, but oh well. The next post will be about our weekend adventure to Manuel Antonio Nacional Parque - get ready to have your minds blown by beauty. =]
PURA VIDA!
