10/8 and 10/9

Hello everyone!
I am able to speak Spanish much better already. It is really exciting to be able to have a conversation with my teachers and the people who live here. I am learing hundreds of words every day and it is hard to remember them all but I am getting better at it.

Turrialba is an interesting city to live in. There are no wealthy people here. They either get by or they don't. But they live well for the most part. I realize how spoiled I am when I take for granted having a warm shower every day. I have not had a warm shower yet and I dont think I will the two weeks that I am living here. But its fine because I have air in my lungs and I am in fargin COSTA RICA!!!!!

Yesterday we went to some other waterfalls by a big river. It was very beautiful. We swam in the river and just hung out for a couple hours. It made me very happy. Last night I watched Latin American Idol. Freakin hilarious. One of the finalists is from Costa Rica so everyone is really excited. Dora and I were making fun of both of them.

I will keep writing so keep reading.

besos,
Martine

Sure sounds like you are having a great time and learning alot! I am excited for you... can't wait to hear more and some day see some pictures. How is the weather there? Can you drink the water? Was the water cold at the waterfall where you went swimming? I know, TMQ but it's interesting and exciting...
