I´m in Costa Rica!!!

Buenas dias!!! Well, after much traveling I finally arrive in San Jose at 9:30pm on the 25th!! They don´t really tell us a whole lot at orientation except for a couple legistics. They had us ask a bunch of questions, but then they didn´t answer them. The idea is that we can ask them of our host family and pretty much mess up over and over until we figure out how we are supposed to live a "Costa Rican lifestyle". My senora is so sweet. She had a HUGE boquet of flowers for me when I met her and she gave me a few gifts that were waiting for me in my room including, a mug, chocolate, key chain, letter, a bag that she made, and a few other things. I got to help make dinner, eat dinner, which included some cartiledge in the chicken that i chewed and ate (uhhh)...that was a stretch and I thought that I might not make it through, but i´m alive. haha Anyway, today I had my spanish interview at ICADS for my language study starting next week. Oh and because my name is Abby and they do things alphabetically by first name around here there have been a few things where i have been the LUCKY FIRST person...haha I guess I´m the guinea pig from now on! I´m exploring San Jose with two other students as we walk around, ride buses, take taxis, buy a few things, find a post office, figure out how to exchange money, find an internet cafe, etc. All of these things the program DOES NOT tell us, but we have to venture around and figure out for ourselves...what an adventure (confusing at times tho). So far, my nerves have still been rather high especially at certain moments, so please keep me in your prayers and pray for peace and confidence. It will continue to be a struggle for me to NOT KNOW what is going to happen next, but hopefully an incredible experience for someone like me who likes to know her schedule. I hope that all is well in the "foreign land" of America! Talk to you all soon! Feel free to leave comments on here as well because it will be the main thing that i check online. Love to all!
