I made it to Costa Rica! My luggage made it too! The airports were not bad and I was able to connect to my flight in North Carolina fairly easy. Although I did have to run across the airport in order to be able to board my flight and make a bathroom stop. Everyone I met on the plane and in the airports were really nice and very helpful, so thank you to all of you who prayed for me. I couldn't have asked for a better trip.
Also, my arrival was very easy. The woman picking me up found me right away even among all of the other passengers and our trip to my host family house was very nice. Christina was able to tell me more about the country and the language school during our time in the taxi van. When i arrived at my host family's house. Mami and Papi immediately welcomed me with open arms. I have only been here for a few hours but already I feel right at home. We have been practicing my Spanish and to my surprise I am understanding alot of what they are saying. I just have to continue to practicing speaking Spanish and Papi was trying to help me tonight by having me repeat the days of the week and months after him. It has been a really good first day and tomorrow they are going to show me around the neighborhood and walk me to the school so that I can become familiar with the area. But for now it is time for bed....buenos noches.
