Getting+Ready+to+go!

I have packed for Costa Rica- some important things I am bringing- binoculars, a rain coat - it will be rainy for a portion of the day, suncreen and bug spray, the i pad to film and blog to you all, good walking shoes and lots of long pants. Adults in Costa Rica typically do not wear shorts unless they are playing sports. I have filled out a menu survey. I will be eating lots of frijoles y arroz or as they call it in Costa Rica, casado.I have been told that the food in Costa Rica or La comida de Costa Rica is very nutritious and fresh. Tican cuisine incoporates fruits and vegetables into most meals.

My flight leaves at 8:55 on Saturday morning so I will probably be up around 4am to make it in time. There is still lots to do- finish lessons for 6th grade, buy keyboard for ipad,get present for homestay family,photocopy all documents. I bought little presents for the children we will be visiting in Costa Rica- silly bands,stickers,crayons,pencils. My EG students suggested footballs and frisbees but there just was not enough room! I am filming Cole and taking pictures of my classes to share with the students in CR. Hopefully we will be able to skype while we are there!
