Pre-departure

Tomorrow morning I leave for Costa Rica. I arrive around 8 pm in San Jose. I can't believe that this is happening so soon! I will be gone for an entire month. This really is an experience of a lifetime. I pray that I will be able to embrace the Costa Rican life motto "La pura vida," which means "the pure life." Most of you know that I am not much of a wild partier, but I really want to make sure that I don't miss out on anything.

I know very little about the family that I will be living with. There is a single mom with three kids. The oldest son is a 20 year old in Med School. Then there is a 19 year old in High School (how do you go straight from HS to Med School in one year? Me thinks that the twenty year old is not actually in med school and he is in fact a premed in college). Lastly, there is a twelve year old girl. I will be living with this family for the entire month.

I am not sure how often I will have internet access. I will try to update my blog as often as possible and add pictures when I can.
