Here I am in Costa Rica!
After flying throughout Wednesday night, I have arrived safely in Costa Rica. First day was a bit rough for me, realizing that I had just left such a comfortable spot. It is quite beautiful and green here. The locals and people on the base are very nice. I have already been talking to one guy here who said he will show me great places to take pictures in exchange for me teaching him some photography.
The food, as expected, is rice and beans. They cook the rice and the beans different ways and sometimes there's a little chicken, asada or chorizo thrown in there... OH BOY! Thank goodness I did bring a bottle of hot sauce with me. Internet is a bit of a pain here, as the main building and bedrooms don't get a wireless connection.
Mosquitos really aren't too bad here, which is a definite relief. The weather is very temperate. I slept in til about 1030am yesterday and the clouds had already rolled in covering up the sun. After about 4pm yesterday it poured rain for several hours. It also gets dark about 6, because of all the cloud cover.
Classes start on Monday, at which I should be plenty busy.
