After being here for two weeks, Sarah and I have yet to do what we came here for. We simply just want to teach!! We have been volunteering by helping schools and a day care get ready for the new school year (school begins the first week in February for children in Costa Rica). Throughout the last couple weeks, it has been crucial to keep thinking positively, but it hasn't always been easy! I have been looking to this picture as a reminder, because it is very true. Even though we haven't been in a school yet, my Spanish has definitely improved and Sarah and I have learned a lot about the culture.
Just so you have an idea of the type of home I'm in, this is Mami playing with our dinner! :) She has such a free, loving spirit (great cook, too!).
This is our beautiful home! All of the houses here are so unique! You can see a volcano and the mountains from the terrace and it's absolutely gorgeous.
This is the Caribbean side of Costa Rica in Puerto Viejo. It is absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately kind of far from where we are! The sand is even black at la Playa Negra!
