Saturday, August 4

So, a young life group from Chicago has been here all week. One of their last nights here, their leader requested a "home stay," so that the kids could get a little glimpse into Costa Rican life and hopefully get to try some traditional Costa Rican snacks/meals. So, my friend, Bimbo, in this picture here hosted 2 of the highschool guys. He picked me up and i spent the day at his house with him, the two guys, and his family. They offered us "snacks" which consisted of many diff´t containers; including, rice, meat (beef), cooked plantains, pita bread w/ sprinkled cheese, beans, etc...yeah, snack. That could have been our dinner! Then we were offered rice pudding which had huge raisins in it (the size of green grapes!)! It was awesome! Then about 7:30pm, we left to meet my friend Monika and the two girls she was hosting for the evening. I stayed the night at Monika´s. We went to this restraurant...
