Bienvenidos a Costa Rica

¡Hola a todos! Bienvenidos a mi blog.

If you are reading this, you probably already know the circumstances under which I am here, so I will go ahead and delve right in.

This morning I woke up at 5:30 en la mañana to go to the airport. My parents and I went by the post office in order to intercept a form sent from the Costa Rican Consulate, but were unable to. So hopefully I will get that in time to get my Visa. I finally arrived after a delayed flight, a minor freak-out about a possible lost suitcase (don't worry, I got it), and some confusion in customs about my lack of visa. I waited outside the airport for my host mom and brother for about ten minutes, which caused a bit of concern on my part, thinking they forgot about me. But they showed up and were super nice and brought me back to the house to unpack and such.

Shortly after I arrived, my host mother's sister and brother-in-law came over with the student they are hosting. Her name is Abby and she is my age, although one year behind me in school. She seems really nice and I am looking forward to having her close by. I had a great time visiting with my familia and everyone today, but am exhausted from traveling and thinking in Spanish. So I am going to try to get some sleep.

Until next time.
