Well...I'm here

I think the title says it...I'm here in Heredia, Costa Rica now, and it is a wee bit different here (who knew?). Today was a fun adventure. It started off with me leaving my house all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed with my luggage (that is all red by some weird twist of fate).

Okay, that's a pretty terrible angle

My mom went to the airport since she was headed out to the great state of Colorado. We said our goodbyes in front of the gate as I was about to board.

After a plane ride (that wasn't really all too long) I found myself in a different country. I'm not sure if everyone realized this, but they speak a different language here! I know, what a shocker. The whole speaking a new language has been interesting for sure. It is such a big change from being in a classroom where you can say something in English, and the professor will know exactly what you are saying. Here..well you just look a little stupid.
The family that I'm living with is really nice. I can tell that this is going to go well as soon as I get into the swing of things. Well, I'll leave you with a few pictures of what I am calling home now for three and half months.
