Sunday so far...

Today is Sunday. It feels strange to not be going to church somewhere. I tried to get online to watch the NewSpring service, but couldn't hear anything, even though my computer volume was turned all the way up. After chatting with someone in tech support, we figured out that my download speed was not fast enough, and that it wouldn't work. He said I would have to go somewhere with Wi-Fi. I'll have to just wait for the podcast, and try out an internet cafe (if they are open) on Sunday! Or find somewhere to go to church. My family asked me what religion I was this morning, and so I told them I was a Christian, and they told me of a baptist church nearby, so it's something I'll have to look into.

I slept late today, till 9 or so. I didn't actually get out of bed until 9:30 though. It's nice to just rest and relax. I had a pleasant desayuno with my host parents and brother. They fixed a very typical Costa Rican dish called "gallo pinto" (not sure if I spelled that right), made of frijoles (beans), arroz (rice), cebolla (onions), and chile (peppers). It was DELICIOUS!!! I liked it a lot. We all talked for a while, and now I am back in my room, which opens directly to the kitchen, catching up on some e-mails and working on applications for pharmacy schools. This is probably all that I will do today. The family doesn't have anything planned. Alonso has a test tomorrow so he will be studying, and Adriana has a friend over that she is entertaining. The friend she has over is the daughter of a lady who spent a year in Costa Rica with my host mom's mother, so my host mother and this girl's mother lived together when they were teenagers here in CR!! How cool!

Buenos dias!
