Mi Casa Hostel San Jose

not much to tell. we landed in the evening. we already had the hotel pacande set up and they had warned us to use the legit cabs and not go with just anybody. considering we didn't know spanish, the city, or how to convert dollars to colones, it seemed like a good idea.<br><br>hotel pacande was about 5-10 minutes away and a ...

... of days so I thought that I would be safe leaving my raincoat at home and wearing some cute flip flops. <br><br>Bad idea. I walked home with soggy feet and wet jeans. It was pretty awful. My hair looked an awful mess too, but I am coping.<br><br>Catalina and I got home close to the same time. She was giddy because her legs were wet. It was so hilarious. Soon after we got home the sky opened up. It was actually quite amazing to ...

... back to the cabin we tried watching more Grey's but there were 10 more cockroaches to get. It took an hour and a half to get them all - and half a can of raid and a raid plug in (we told the security guard he had to get us raid because it was ridiculous) - we couldn't find the source; that was the gross part. Then we watched more Grey's Anatomy.<br><br>On Saturday, me and my two friends went Kayaking in the Mangrove. It was incredible--we were a few ...

... ride) mission to see the sloth sanctuary. I really wanted to see them and held a glimmer of hope but we hadn't seen them in the wild and with the storms and talk on online forums of the sanctuary being closed, and not being able to get through with their phone number I was worried. Seeing the sloths and the Panama canal were the two things I wanted out of Costa Rica and Panama! We also were not going to pay between 50 and 90 US dollars each for a day tour to the sloths and ...

... but too high of a jump for me. Maybe one day. For now, I think ill try more to embrace every opportunity that approaches, and seek out of my weekends more than just the luxuries that my favorite hotel in San Jose offers. This week in school I have hit a sort of block with the kids. They seem bored and well, so am I. The kid's enthusiasm can only be a reflection of my desire to be there. I have gotten pretty strict about ...

... stock up on the bits n pieces that i need to replace or now realise i need...so i went shopping...literally walking from one end of town to the other (and a 3rd end too, right to the outskirts, after taking a wrong turn right at the start).<br><br>1) Memory Stick - 4 gigs for 11 quid. Fair enough.<br>2) Alarm Clock - a fiver! Thought it would be cheaper...<br>3) Shoes - Lots to choose from, nothing except boots in a 12 though, and im not ...

... night. We are planning on going back this Saturday with our other room mate. We are so excited to finally have the camera working and will be taking much more pictures! One thing that we have enjoyed seeing while we've been out here is surprisingly the graffiti, well the pieces that are meant to be piece of art. We took some pictures, hope you enjoy them! Have a great day! we love and miss u guys Nathan and Elizabeth

Wir sind heute tatsaechlich heil in San Jose angekommen.Zur Begruessung hat es am Flughafen erstmal ordentlich geregnet. 1km weiter war alles trocken. Meine Schwester dazu: rain is a fact of life in San Jose :-) Also ab nach Hause, Koffer in die Ecke und erstmal Essen gehen. Morgen geht es gleich los Richtung Pazifik, zu einer Lodge auf der Peninsula de Osa.

... the research in exchange for someone else putting together the slideshow, so I'm behind the curve. I'm torn about whether this is the best way to teach, though. Classrooms here don't have computers, much less sophisticated media player software. (Heck, they don't even have clocks on the walls; the teacher is always checking the time on her cell phone. Nor do they have books; exercises are written on the board and copied into their notebooks in a tedious process that takes ten ...
