Host Family

Hi everyone,

I just received my pre-departure packet from ISA with my host family assignment! I will be living with Nina, a Russian immigrant to Costa Rica and retired violin teacher, and her marido Cesar, an accountant. They have a dog!!!!! They live in a brick house in the suburban neighborhood of Montelimar, a quick 20 minute bus ride from my university.

Perhaps the favorite part of my letter: "Your host mother will also prepare a variety of Costa Rican dishes for you with a Russian twist." I'm thinking rice and beans a la stroganoff?

17 days til departure!

Pura vida,
Eric
