Bienvenidos

I made it into Costa Rica thank goodness because I had some trouble in Phonix! Right when I was about to check in to see if I was good to fy, the lady told me I had to buy a returning ticket to the U.S. but I didnt have one. So with 15min to spare I ran to the customer service desk and asked to buy one. I was happy to find out that I could buy a ticket that was fully refunable. ok so I got off the plane in Costa Rica and was relieved that I had made it. After getting my bag and going through Customes I went outside to where I was told to go by the email from Conversa, the spanish school I was going too. But when I got there no one was there to great me. I thought they might have left without me.. But right when that thought was going through my head a car came around a corner faster than a bat out of hell!!! The Jeep came to a quick stop and then a lady poked her head out of the window. I had no idea what she was saying until She pulled the Conversa sign out and then told me to go to the car. I sat in the back of the jeep also known as the trunk but there were seats on the side so it was cool. A very nice lady whos name was Gata was super nice and had so many questions to ask me. While we were talking every few seconds her phone would ring and throughout the who trip to my casa she must have had at least 14 calls in period of 20 min. All I could understand was her saying puta this puta that which means bitch so it was funny. I got to my house and Gata told me that I was going to live with her brother Venicio. We went through her house into a court yard and my house was in the back corner. There whole family lives in hosues right next to one another which is very nice. I got inside and said hello to the family. Sandra the mother offered my food and I had some rice and beans. I was taken to my room and I felt right at home. I meet both of the children and Derek who is 15 and Andrea who is 9. they were a bit shy at first but soon we were trying to create conversation. I got unpacked and went to bed. The next morning We had eggs for breakfast. Derek and I watch a kung fu movie and then chilled. After that the whole family and I went to where they own horses for a picnic. We got there at 11 and left at 7. When we got there we had to go over a small stream and up a hill with stones for stairs. The family was suprised because one of the goats had a baby the night before. it was very cute and we ate it. just kidding but it was really cute. some friends came and they were very funny. There was a professor who was 26 named Rusty and he was very nice. It was his last day and he celebrated with everyone and it was fun. My family's cousin Diego is super nice and likes to play a game where you make a circle with your pointer finger and thumb and out it below you waist and if someone looks then he hits the person on the shoulder lightly. I was good at the game so we got along just fine! Everything is goign well and Santa Ana is so pretty. I start school tomorrow so I am excited!
