I arrived yesterday afternoon, spent most of the day unpacking/getting organized, and getting to know my Tica family. Se llaman Geraldo, Iris y Yasmin (tiene 21 años).
Thankfully they are very patient with my half-baked attempts at the language and correct me along the way!
This morning, I went with Geraldo y Iris to the local market to buy fruit/vegetables.
Muy barato (cheap)! We bought 21+ bananas for under a dollar. There is even one vendor that gives away free fruit if you buy 3+ products from him. You pick a marble out of a jar and if it has a number on it, you've won a bag of free fruit! Fun! I will have to go back and visit that stand again.
This is a view of my patio (backyard). It has high walls covered in vines and gorgeous flowers!
There's even a banana tree! (below)
My breakfast this morning: tamale y cafe. Que rico!
