We had our first class this morning. My professor is Esteban Piedra and he couldn't look less Costa Rican. He is a red-headed, tall, bearded man. But he is very funny and I am anticipating a lot of fun with him in class.

After class we went out for lunch at El Caracol. We all ordered casados, which was a full plate of either fish or meat with rice, beans, Costa Rican coleslaw, and some type of salsa on the side. It also came with a fresh fruit drink (of some kind of fruit - I'm quickly realizing that I need to review my food vocabulary). All for 2200 colones (~ $4).
Then we took a quick tour of San Jose. We stopped at a market, walked by some museums - one of which we'll be going to tomorrow - and we walked through a few parks, churches and the national theater. We definitley stood out as tourists - just by the size of our group.
San Jose is quite different from a European city and cars do not stop here - we've been very seriously warned about crossing the street. Well, my only homework for the night is to talk with ticos, so I'll do that while I have dinner with my family shortly.
