Getting ready


Hello/Hola!

I am getting ready to leave for Costa Rica at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning to study Spanish for 2-weeks. I feel anxious and excited. I am not quite sure what is in store for me other than 6 hours of conversational Spanish lessons per day...It's non-stop Espanoling until 7/26. Fortunately, I won't be traveling alone. My classmate and friend Alysia is coming with me.

My goal is to update this blog as regularly as possible to let everyone know about the trip and to share pictures from Playa Tamarindo. So, make sure you keep checking it out and I'll try to send e-mails to remind you. I've been told that there is WiFi at the school, but if this is the only post you see then you know that someone lied to me.

I've posted a picture to get this started. It's my luggage (I know, not exciting) but I only packed in two bags and I am carrying them both on (oh yeah, now you're excited). DAD: Only 2-pairs of shoes - - can you believe it!?

Stay tuned...Adios!
For more information on the school check this out: http://www.spanishabroad.com/tamarindo.htm

here's a helpful phrase that you will find invaluable throughout your time in costa rica: "Donde esta la biblioteca?"
