Everything is Pura Vida in Hojancha right now. I am living in a great little furnished house right in town; my housemates are students who only speak Spanish with me, and this morning I learned how to make a traditional Costa Rican breakfast (Gallo Pinto).
Before leaving my little yellow house on the hill, we did some grilling out and drinking in the front yard and I stopped to lovingly observe the place I have called home while here in Hojancha. This includes:
 |
| A motley assortment of pups that are regularly provided with food scraps and love |
 |
| Multi-colored Christmas lights that alternate between flashing patterns (reminder: it is February) |
 |
| A tendency to adopt any lost and frightened animal |
 |
| Virtually no furniture and many shirtless men |
 |
A borrowed grill in our front yard that we use quite frequently
|
It was then I realized that we are the rednecks of our little neighborhood. I'm definitely excited to start a new page of my CR life (and meet Oscar's family, who move here from PR in a few days!!!), but I'm also going to miss the hilarity of living with these guys. The good news is: the cleanliness of our washed dishes and pristine common areas in the new house more than makes up for it ;)
