An experience I continue to unpack

I stayed six weeks abroad in Costa Rica with Sol and wow it's just so hard to break it all down in a short amount of space. I loved every part of it. The classes were intense but ended at noon, allowing us the whole day to explore the country. Costa Rica is the place to study Spanish. The people are people of service always willing to help a foreigner because they want to leave you with a good impression and come back. The nature and the excursions are like no other. The variety of micro-ecosytems is quite impressive and the beaches, rain forests, and other sights are beautiful. The staff is great too. They were quick to know our names and we were so close. By the end Jessenia, Janiva, and Rodrigo became friends I wish to see again soon.(this seperates SOL from bigger providers). My favorite aspect was my host-family. Every day is an adventure. My mama tica's meals were to die for and my tico dad was an amazing talker that ran every morning with me. My tico brother would stayed up with me and bring me with his friends to his soccer games and my tica sister would show me around the city with her friends. My spanish would not have improved the way it did here if I did not go. You have to be immersed to learn the fulness of the language and this is the program that does so.
