University Trip!


Sorry this is so short! I just realized I haven't blogged in a while!

We got to go to UCR Friday morning during Spanish class! Our purpose was to practice Spanish with college students on campus for an hour or so. Some guys were sitting around and we asked if they would give us a campus tour, and they said yes! Then another guy and girl joined us a few minutes later! We walked and spoke Spanish the whole time (well, pretty much- they asked us to speak English slowly so they could see if they understood... and then told us they don't like English, so we started back up with Spanish). 

Since I don't talk to many Costa Ricans outside of church and ESL, I felt like it was the most real conversation I've been a part of since I've been here! We just talked about whatever random things came up: school, other places in Costa Rica that we've visited, what we came for, etc. They taught us some new pachuco (that I don't remember now), but hopefully we made some friends that we can keep hanging out with and talking to as the year goes on!
