Somewhere to live

I ate at Soda el Jardin again today and spoke more in length with the woman there, Edu. Apparently she and her sister, Ana, own the place and are taking english classes at a school in Ciudad Quesada. She said that if I come back, that I should come look her up because she lives alone in a four bedroom house and would love to have an "extranjera" (foreigner) living with her so that she could improve her language skills.

Why didn't I find this restaurant back when I was trying to find somewhere to live the first time around?

I told her about Longwood program and asked if she'd be interested in future students, as I probably wouldn't be back for at least a year.... or three. She said that she would be for sure, and gave me her phone number and address to pass on to Dr. Frank.

Look at me, the forerunner, paving the way for future student teachers in Costa Rica ;)
