Imagine living on a dirt road in a town where there’s one church, school, old-age home, and store. That’s where I am! I live on this road that is sooo steep. I have to walk down it to go to classes each day – we are using a room in the communal area next to the church. But it’s honestly quite a workout just going to class each day.
Maybe it’s the same in middle-of-nowhere US, I don’t know. But in the campo of Costa Rica, it seems like the residents do some pretty interesting things to entertain themselves. I am living with a Costa Rican family in a pretty rural area. Upon arriving back at my house this evening, I walked into the “living room” where my host parents were doing karaoke. They had a microphone and everything – and were really getting in to it. Just the two of them... I couldn’t help but smile. And from what I hear, it seems like a communal activity that all the residents of the town do to pass the time.
Anyway, we have classes every day and are staying very busy. I will try to get back here soon to post another thing but please email, write and call. email me at emilyhaimowitz@gmail.com if you want my number or address.

Everytime I think that you insisted on going to college in an urban setting, I laugh! We can't wait to hear more.
I love you.

You should be used to steep climbs after the past four years.
