Alajuela, Costa Rica

I am staying at a friend's house in a suburb of San Jose, the country's capital.

On the 29th, I will start a volunteer gig protecting Caribbean shoreline used by giant sea turtles.

At the moment, most of my time is spent studying GRE vocabulary and cooking. I've become pretty good at making pizza from scratch and even thai green curry. Chocolate chip cookies and fried yuca, too.
