Two Weeks Down

Well, another week is complete, so I suppose I have officially hit the half way point. To be quite honest, this kind of "bums me out". Yea, life here is pretty good, and I'm really enjoying the language study. I just enjoyed a light lunch on the beach, so I figured I would BLOG a bit. I was was also thinking about my education. Although I haven't really learned any new topics, I feel like my Spanish has improved greatly. The first day of class, I basically understood NOTHING the teacher was saying. Since the classes are taught completely in Spanish, this was pretty overwhelming. After a couple of weeks, although I don't understand "every word", I am able to follow what's going on. Also, when I talk to people around town, etc., I am generally able to understand and communicate. The other night, I sat and talked with one of my neighbors for about an hour in Spanish. Now, we certainly weren't discussing the intricacies of the universe, but hey, it was a conversation none the less. QUE BUENO!!!! Anyway, I am certainly learning, and right now, I'm wishing I was here for another few months.
HMMM.....who knows when I will return, but it may be in the "not so distant" future.

Another weekend is upon us. No major travel plans as of yet, but I think I will spend a day or so in a nearby town called Santa Cruz. It's about an hour by bus, and I need to head up there to get a police report (from the great Tamarindo heist of 04......April, that is). I'm thinking I will spend a night and check out the town a bit, and I'll probably be accompanied by a friend or two from the school. Anyway, I hear it is pretty much American-free, so it should be a good experience.

Que tengan un buen fin de semana!!!
PURA VIDA
