Pueblo Viejo
On
Saturday, 16 September, students and their host families (a group of
over 60) spent the day at Pueblo Viejo ("old town").
Pueblo Viejo is a sort of theme park/history museum. The day was spent
seeing the model of an old Tico town with historical drama, dancing
in the streets, clowns parading, etc.
Host families enjoyed explaining 
the
old town and all the artifacts--giving the students much practice using
their Spanish. And, of course, their was ample time to take rides of
all kinds (in the photo, Cara and her host mother) and to visit. Some
of us stayed well into the evening!
- Rosemary Wyse Reimer in front of a typical coffee-carrying oxcart.
- Clown and GC students.
Above San Jose
Last Monday the students went to Conversa's [language school] other site way up in the hills overlooking San José. Teachers from the downtown location came along and had a full morning of Spanish classes. In the afternoon there was all the swimming sun we could have hoped for during this otherwise rainy season.
- Also... getting acquainted with neighbors over tea.
