i thought i would try to post again before i leave the city. i'm here in san jose with some other volunteers for thanksgiving... a couple who work for the US embassy invited us to dinner and we ended up going with them to another embassy official's house where there were about 20 of us - almost all of them working for the embassy. everyone was SUPER welcoming and nice and the food was great. and it was just real nice for us to feel so comfortable there.
so i go back to my site tomorrow and have a busy few days coming up. tomorrow i have to give the oral part of the english test to my adults and then this weekend is our fiesta weekend. we have dances, futbol games, bull riding and running, and lots of food sales. it'll be my first bull action so i'm excited to see that. then the mayor comes to meet with us about fixing our roads. the rainy season here is really attacking this country and, compared to limon and other towns, our town is being let off super well. buuut, the river is real full and everyone is worried about it overflowing. sooo, the municipality got us these huge round cylinder like things that are somehow gonna prevent the flooding...we'll see what the mayor has to say about all this. thennn, im gonna meet with some ladies from fuerza y luz who, i'm hoping, are gonna work with us to get a playground, or parque infantil, in my town. im real excited about this project so hopefully it'll go well. then i have my host nephews baptism slash birthday... so, it should be a pretty full next few days.
the point is, happy thanksgiving! i hope the turkey was great and everyone is sleeping safe and sound in the food comas :)
