And we're off!

So I FINALLY had my first day of actually meeting my students and getting to know Alexandra. The kids are fun, and seem excited to have me there--especially the 8th graders. I will be working with 7 different classes while I'm here. For the first week, it will be all about remembering names (students and staff), which is going to be one of my biggest challenges. I'm horrible with names in general and usually forget them 5 seconds after I meet someone, so this should be interesting :) An obvious skill that I need to work on as a teacher!

We are off to Jaco tomorrow afternoon! I am done with classes at 11:15 and we're jumping on a bus at 2:30. Much needed time away from Tres Rios for all of us to see the sights! And maybe have a drink or two :) We aren't really supposed to go out in Tres Rios, which is fine with me considering one drink would put me out right about now. But this weekend....

I'm starting to get a cold I think so I am currently downing my 4th bottle of agua con limon. Apparently the juice from the fruits that grow in a tree in our backyard are like a cure-all. We'll see in the morning!

I'm off to take a luke warm to cold, light-trickle shower. Love it. Have a great weekend everyone, and I will update on here about our adventures when I get back on Sunday!

Chao!
