Dia dos :)

I'm so excited to meet mi familia mañana, but a little nervous tambien. The waterfall gardens were amazing today; birds, butterflies, frogs, snakes, and cats oh my! From all the excitement, walking and elevation were were exhausted by the time we reached the shuttle back. The bathrooms at La Paz were definitely a highlight with waterfalls for sinks and mosaic floors. It has been great practicing my Spanish so far and the ticos have been muy simpatico. I find it getting easier with each new person we encounter. All of the food we have had has been delicious and every dish has been different. We found out that every "town" has 5 basic thing: a school, a church, a soccer field, a store of some type, and a bar; the first 3 being the most important :) I am really looking forward to meeting my family and am excited to learn all that I can about them and their way of life. I am excited to eat with them and find out what dishes are more traditional in their household. I am expecting them to be very welcoming and am curious about how much English they know. Tomorrow we will visit the Poas volcano and CPI, ending the day with dinner with our new families :) can't wait!
