Hi! I WILL be blogging about my experiments with square-foot gardening this year, but before that happens I will be visting Costa Rica for the first time ever and want to blog about that.
Having never traveled outside the borders of the US before this, I had to get a pass-port. That happened without a hitch. I have been brushing up on my Spanish, but still read and write it better than I can speak and listen. Getting better at the latter though.
Here's the basic run-down: I will be arriving in Costa Rica April 13 and staying at the Beacon Hotel in Escazu (a suburb northwest of San Jose). My job while I'm there will be to visit the student teachers who have been assigned to the school in Escazu to serve as ambassador for MSU and to make sure they are having a good experience. Also I have been asked to take photos for use in future advertising of the Costa Rica student teaching option.
On Wednesday I will travel by bus to Manuel Antonio on the Pacific coast to visit student teachers there. Same deal. I will be staying a jungle bed and breakfast called the Hotel La Colina. My traveling partner is Marti Sievek a professor in Secondary Education here at MSU. He teaches Spanish and speaks it fluently.
Tomorrow I am meeting with Marti to discuss the trip.
I will blog each day with photos and post to facebook so I hope you will join me on my journey.
KARL
