I´m back in the Spanish speaking world, which means I´ve crossed the Pacific again (staying true to the url of the blog) and have changed my blog´s title. How is it? First the bad:
The ¨y¨ sound is a j, like in Argentina. So ¨pollo¨ sounds like ¨po-joe¨. And it´s more expensive. I mean, a large meal is a whole $4 (sometimes $6!).
Okay, the good:
Before I even had a cell phone, I was standing on top of Volcán Irazú. I´ve already eaten at the Central Market in San Jose (seems so clean for a market!), as well as in a few ¨sodas¨, little food shops where they serve great beans and rice. I´ve seen a lot of the country, which involves lots of mountains, jungles, and rain. My host here just outside Turrialba lives on a farm with some jungle, so we´ve seen flowers, insects, birds, and coffee plants. Pictures to come, when I´m not at an internet cafe. And I think I´ve got a job interview tomorrow, so I´ll keep posted on that.
So basically, Costa Rica is exciting and beautiful. I feel pretty comfortable here, and could see myself being here a long time. I´m happy with the choice I´ve made.
