Hola from Monteverde!!
We have safely arrived in our new home! Finally. :) After 2 plane rides, and a long car ride from San Jose to Monteverde, I was ready to crash! But, as always, you can never move to a foreign country without having a little bit of drama. Sammy was supposed to fly from Charlotte to Houston, spend the night in Houston, and then fly to Costa Rica the next morning. Well, they got confused or something happened where the dogs got mixed up, and Sam went to El Salvador, while some other dog was sent here. Aye! They flew Sammy back here the next day, and now he's the happiest dog in the world. After all, he is eating table scraps. :)
Along with our new house is a new pet. The previous owners left their two cats, which we named Posie and Haynie. Posie went home with the owners when they came over to show us around, and Haynie stayed with us. We feed her, and she stays in our laundry room. Jack and I have become very attached to her.
Jack and I saw the school yesterday. The colegio, has a campus like area with separate classrooms. They aren't bunched up in one building. There is an incredible view of all the mountains. My English class has a porch where you can sit and read. They have two gazebos where you can eat lunch on top of a hill. There's a soccer pitch, basketball court, and a few playgrounds for the younger kids. Walking to each class is like walking through a national park. They have gardens, a greenhouse, and they even make their own bio-diesel for the school buses!! How cool is that?!?! I am going to an orientation on Friday so I will take pics so you can see what the school looks like.
Check back soon!!!!
