Waking up in a unfamiliar country, I didnt know what to expect, but with my 18 hour travel time to get here from Los Angeles (with a 10 hour lay over in Atlanta) I was too tired for nervousness.
Previously early in the morning (12:30am), Jovel and his wife (I slept in Monica's room and she stayed at her Grandmother's house.) showed me around a little. "Este es el baño...Este es la cocina...Este es el leche...) To tell you the truth, I was to tired to translate to myself, but I understood what they were showing me, because I was on my own the next morning.
Day 2 - I wake up, and the first thing I do is look around the house and check out their cable tv.
Either the American shows have Spanish voice-over or in English with Spanish subtitles. Ha! My Spanish is going to be so-ooooo much better after these 3 months.
"Van Helsing" in Español...SAH-WEET!"
Later that day, we went to Mall Alajuela. This mall had USAs entire fast food franchise: McDonald's (two of them, one serves desserts only.), Taco Bell, Quiznos...) Pretty cool mall, here I will be able to go to the movies. CR gets new release USA movies 1 month behind though. Thinking about going to see, "300" while I am here. Should be interesting. In English with Spanish subtitles. HA!
Day 3 - I hung out at the Quesada's casa and got outside this time. Jovel's house is BEAUTIFUL. He built it himself. The trees are gorgeous. I took a picture of the treehouse (1st time using this camera too.) he built for his children when they were younger:
Jovel drove me to Grecia where I will be staying. Driving towards Grecia you have to drive through Downtown Grecia. My rental house is 3 blocks from Downtown Grecia.
