I have no pictures to post today, so don't freak out. What I will say, is that today was a great day to be around here. It started out like all other days of the week with breakfast and Buen Dia on the tv. We had our weekly meeting for my study abroad program where we talked about this coming weekend and the excursion we are going on to Tamarindo on the Northern Atlantic coast of Costa Rica. That excitement was followed by getting student IDs which is admittedly not as exciting.
After all that needed to be done at the university was over, I traveled down to San Jose with my new friends here Will and Leslie. After a quick adventure and some solid Costa Rican lunch, we hopped on the bus back to Heredia. You should be privy to knowing that we had hoped to be back in time to play some futbol with the rest of the students in our program. As our luck would have it, they were walking by as we came off of the bus and we never broke stride. After our trek to get a ball and arrive at the field we set up, met some new Tico friends, and began to play as the normal afternoon rain began. We played through rain barefoot as we were soaked to the bone while having a great time full of skill, slips, and Spanish. After that we all went our separate ways as we returned home to try to stop our bodies from getting too upset at the abuse we put them through. A small group of us then decided to head out for coffee and fruit juice (very common here) to decompress and have a good time. It was a great finish to a crazy day. And now, I look forward to tomorrow when I finally have my first class here in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!
