- Paying approximately fifty cents to ride the bus into San Jose from my home, which saves me the headache of one-way street driving and searching and paying for parking.
- Getting my oil changed by a nice gentleman who calls me "mi amor" and "mi reina." He's not hitting on me and it's really only because he doesn't know my name- but if an oil change worker in CA called me "my queen" I think I might give him a dirty look. It is just more acceptable and nice in Spanish.
- Greeting people and wishing them a happy new year days after the new year began. I think the idea of greeting and saying goodbye to everyone who is in the room is a wonderful thing.
- My friendship with my "watchy-man" Oscar who guards the cars at the gym I attend. I brought him some almonds and Dewar's candy and he told me that he had been wondering when I was coming back from my trip to California. It's nice to be missed.
- Costa Rican coffee just can't be beat.
- The beauty of the countryside...I am totally fine with the rainy season because of the gorgeous green that can be seen everywhere as a result.
- And my friends and SI family that is here. I am so blessed by them.
Beach time with these great friends and fellow SI staffers |
Another beautiful sunset seen out my bedroom window |
