The school mates that you have seen in the pictures are Stacie and Omega. Others which did not go with us to Puerto Viejo are Josh, Henni, and Minnie.
Here is the information i remember about them.
Stacie is from Indianapolis (she was quite sad her Colts lost) and played basketball in college at a college in Chicago and Iowa. She at the school for 2 months! She has graciously allowed us to use her MagicJack-a very useful internet phone for unlimited calls in the US while traveling abroad. I quite recommend it to those that wish to travel and wish to contact home at a cheap rate! Stacie's parents work for a restoration company in Indianapolis! We were shocked that our parents worked for the same type of company!
Omega is from North Carolina and attended college in New York. From my memory, she is a therapist and has worked in many different environments! She is a Christian and her father is a bishop back home! She is considering returning to school to get a degree in Nursing! We had a great conversation about the importance of strong role models and accountability-and how they are missing from the US culture! She is studying at the school for about 1 month.
Our roommate is Brenna and is from North Carolina. She is studying at another local school called MesoAmerica. She is working on her undergraduate degree- Music Education K-12. She is also getting a spanish minor and is quite efficient at Spanish! She has been extremely helpful in providing information about places she has visited and that we want to visit-she recommended Rocking J's!
Josh is from New Orleans and quite excited his Saints won! He has plans to stay in Costa Rica for a year or longer. Similar to me he is looking for jobs that could provide a work visa! We were talking today and it looks like he may have found a job or at least a potential opportunity-he's got to make sure its not a scam!
