Happy New Year everyone! All is well here. I am happy to be back in Costa Rica, and I am not-so-happy to say that I am half way through my time here. I`m not ready to go home yet. Of course, I miss people, family, friends, my own bed, American food, and all that good stuff, but I know that when I leave Costa Rica I will be gone. Tilaran`s version of winter is being blown away by tons of wind. I`m amazed that the trees, houses, and power lines haven`t fallen over. Anyways, things are wonderful here. My host family and I enjoyed Christmas and New Years. Here are some differences.
In Costa Rica:
-Christmas gifts are more for children, and not that big of a deal.
-Why would I put stuff in my stockings? I don`t even have a fireplace.
- Christmas diner was rice, beans, and chicken.
-New Year´s Eve is a quiet occasion.
-What is a Hannukah? Did you just sneeze? ¨God bless you.¨
-Kwanzaa is a car brand, like Honda, right?
-Two stores in the entire city sold Christmas trees.
-People wore shorts to the Christmas church service.
-Everyone goes to the beach for New Years.
