These gentlemen were playing a wide variety of music. It sounded like the Buena Vista Social Club. The music was so beautiful it brought a tear to my eye.

We've arrived!

What up ladies! So we landed in Costa Rica at 1:30 local time on Thursday. Everything here is green. The soil is extremly fertile and so everything is emerald green. When we landed I thought we were going to get jumped by rebels charging the plane but alas it didn´t happen. Entered the country and I went to meet my home stay family. They are extremly nice and live across the street from an internet cafe! 

So heres whats up with the city. There are more motorcycles than cars  and people drive like maniacs! 

 Check this-the sun rises at 5:30 am! and it sets by 6pm. They also have no water heaters here. They use electric heaters to warm the water. I have been taking cold showers so that I don't inconvenience my host family. I have two other home stay roommates Chris and Kevin who are from Kansas and they are cool cats! 

I've got some great pix for you guys!

oh and I forgot to mention that today we hung out at an authentic Tico bar called La Bamba and we drank brews and sang coridos!

just wait for the pixs!
