Guancaste

There is one thing that you can say for shure about Guancaste, it is freaking hot! Siriously, you need an aircondition or something like that, if you like to sleep at night. But there is another thing, it is damn beautiful. There are a lot of animals, Colibris, Monkeys, Crocodiles...
I just took wonderful pictures, including the pacific ocean, a lot of animals and plants, enjoy!

mountain view

Feliz día de la madre! Happy Mothersday!
Today was no shool because of the mothersday, so we could sleep a little more which was really, really great. For lunch, we went to a restaurant on a mountain, with a nice view of some parts of San José. The food was pretty tasty, but for my opinion it was way to much meat, haha.
Here are some nice impressions:

tortugas!

I spent my day with my hostmother and my hostsister at a kind of park with places to make some BBQ or go swimming, I'm not shure how to call this place. However, I found a little turtle in a plastic cup, near on of the little sidewalks, so we decided to take her with us. On the plastic cup was the name Roy written, so we decided to name the turtle Roy. Now roy is in a little kind of aquarium next to me and listens to my tiping. I also saw my first Colibri today, what wonderful animals!

getting used to everything

I'm getting used to everything here. To the school, the people and the food. Slowly, slowly. But it truely works, I'm very happy that I have such a active hostsister and that she's so nice to take me with her, everywhere she goes, so it's pretty easy for me to make friends with someone.
I think we're going to San José tomorrow, to buy pants and ballerinas for my schooluniform and maybe visit the Mercardo Central a second time.

You will hear from me soon, Julia.

comida tipica/tipical food

Soo when your family offers you some tipical food don't respond: eeew, I only eat what I knew.
NO! Try, try, try! And if you just don't like it, say it, don't be scared, it's better than pretending everything is fine, in that case they'll may offer it to you again.

Be openminded and polite!

first day of school

Soo yesterday was my first day in school and it's really, really, really different compared to my school in germany. It's much louder and sometimes I don't know if it's still break or class. The pupils are just always chatting and doing crazy things and the teacher doesn't really react, yeah I think it's puberty. (hope so)
But the school is more or less good appointed with electronics and stuff. All in all the people are really nice, a little childish, but nice.

ps: today is the day of the virgen from los angeles (día de la virgen de los angeles) the really catholic guys walk by foot from San José to Cartago which are between 20 and 30 km(!)
