Eleanor
and I applied and were awarded a residency in San Ramon, Costa Rica for
six weeks this winter. Our departure is a week out and have,
uncharacteristically, started packing early. It started last week
collecting and purchasing art materials, choosing clothing, trying out
different bags and most likely piling up too much. Now it is time to
lighten up and finalize the list.
Today...
We
flew south via Atlanta and landed in San Jose yesterday. We are sitting
under a veranda with a warm breeze blowing waiting for our ride to pick
us up. Then off to San Ramon to meet our host family and start working.
Out and About
Our host Royce brought a taxi to the airport and carried us and our supply-laden bags to San Ramon. It is a small unassuming city 45 minutes northwest. We went straight to Barrio Copan to meet our "homestay family", a welcoming woman named Isabel and her extended family that frequented the house, living close by. It was very typical Tico... warm, open and happy to share.
We soon left again with Royce and walked the streets to get oriented. A grid patterned cityscape with no street signs or house numbers, many small shops, a central cathedral, jardin, and no 'gringos' in sight.
