My First Week!

Hey Guys!
I have been here for about a week now. Costa Rica is really beautiful and there are lots of amazing plants and animals in the rainforests around me. So far, I have seen an iguana, a sloth, a poison dart frog, leafcutter ants, a lot of toucans, and a million different types of plants! For the next month, I am living with a nice Tico family. Walter and Giselle and their daughter Emilie are very kind and take really good care of me. My Spanish is pretty mediocre but they are helping me to learn! The hotel hasn´t actually had any guests since I got here, so I am thinking that I may never have to do any work! Mostly at work I have been learning about farming and the rainforest, and yesterday morning I milked a cow. Time moves more slowly here than I have ever experienced, and I wonder if I am going to be able to make it through six months at this pace. Maybe I need to take up more hobbies? Pictures will be coming soon! It has been raining and I don´t want to get my camera wet.
