Well, this is probably my last time using a computer in CR. Sooo...thank goodness, because these keyboards are kind of getting annoying to use! haha Well, I have mixed emotions today. I've had such an amazing experience down here, but at the same time I'm ready to see my family and friends. Oh my..... Let's see here. I've learned a ton of spanish while i've been down here. I've had a ton of great expereiences also. I've made some friends, and learned a lot about myself also. I've learned that you have to make the most of your experiences, which i think i have. It's been great living here because it gives you a whole new perespective on life, that you wouldnt have had otherwise. The communciation barrier is definitely something to be acknowledged, but not scared of. All in all, communication is a basic human element. If you need to communicate, for the most part, you will be able to because people will be able to understand you for the most part. It's nice to be assured that in the end, life is life. The people down here are just like you and me. they breathe the same air, drink the same water, and eat (although maybe a little different food!). Life will go on. All in all I want to thank all of Costa Rica for an amazing time, I've been truly blessed. At the same time, I just want to tell everyone at home.....be ready cause I'll be home in less than 24 hours!!
Adios,
Josh
Great to hear that you've had such a great time whilst studying abroad. It is great being able to learn a language whilst in it's country.
