I am finally here and it feels great to get settled in! It was pouring rain when my plane landed and I am going to take that as a sign of good luck :) It feels amazing to be in 80 degree weather again and I cannot wait to feel the sun on my face. I have my own bedroom in a smaller guest house that is connected to Emelia's main house. I am sharing the house with two other roommates and they are awesome. They have both already been living here for about a month and are able to answer questions that I have......which are A LOT. They can also help me with communicating in Spanish; if we all work together we should be able to learn the language pretty well ;) I need to brush up on my vocabulary!
The traffic on my way into Tres Rios from San Jose was absolutely insane! They have certain rules about what cars can drive on certain streets each day of the week based on the liscense plate numbers.....I found that completely bazaar. (I could have misunderstood her explaining that since it was in Spanish...I will have to find out further details!) If you thought driving downtown was bad, you have not seen anything until you cruise the streets of San Jose on a busy afternoon! I didn't mind that we took the long way because there is so much to see. The trees and flowers are gorgeous and are found everywhere.
I am getting settled in tonight, unpacking and planning on visiting the school tomorrow morning to meet my cooperating teacher and the third grade class I will be teaching. I was extremely nervous but now that I'm here I am overly excited to get started!
The guest house where my roommates and I are staying. We each have our own room and share the bathroom and shower. There is a door right in between that leads out onto the balcony :). We also have a backyard that gets sun for majority of the day!
