Welcome to my blog! This will be the best way to keep track of my adventures in Costa Rica in Winter/Spring 2010.
I'll be staying in San José, the capital of Costa Rica and its principal city with a population slightly smaller than Kansas City's (but larger than Omaha's). Here is some more information about the city and country:

While in Costa Rica, I will be studying Spanish and Environmental Science at ULACIT (Latin American University of Science and Technology). I plan on traveling around the country visiting the numerous national parks and across the border to Nicaragua and possibly Panama.
I depart on January 7. Check back soon for more updates on my host family.
Pura vida,
Eric
