Mary Beth's Costa Rican Adventure

This journal is to chronical what happens I attempt to work, live, travel, and speak Spanish in Costa Rica. I have been planning this trip for about six months, but the idea of living in a Spanish speaking country has been in my head ever since I returned from Montevideo, Uruguay in the spring of 2001. The location may have changed some over the years, but I believe that Costa Rica is the place for me. My plan is to find a job teaching English to support myself so that I can work on my Spanish and travel all over this beautiful country.
