Another one’s hooked on rice and beans
That would be Jacob, the new Program Assistant, who as of April 1st, is safe and sound in his new home of Escuela Camino Claro. Literally- IN Escuela Camino Claro- second door on the left across from the kitchen, not hard to find. Much to my delight, he is a talented blogger and photographer (and fisherman, clearly), in addition to being, well, an excellent Program Assistant.
Jacob has his own personal blog called Paz y Playa in Pavones, which is worth checking out if you want some interesting and entertaining insights as what life is like in Pavones, Costa Rica for a rookie. Jacob will be contributing to ECC’s blog as much as he wants to from now on, so keep checking in for a new ECC voice… ahh, so refreshing!
Here’s some of his words to start you off…
Karaw! Karaw!
sounds like a bird, no? WRONG. well, right, but it also sounds like the infamous Tico call so often heard ‘round town here in Pavones. KARAW!
right now i’m a complete novice at so many things. i’m eating rice and beans everyday, but metaphorically, i snack on humble pie every few hours. between spanish, surfing, and fishing i’m quite the freshman. but i’d like to think i’m a cool freshman, ya know? like the one that had the popular older brother or something, cuz people cut me a lot of slack around here and that sure helps.
More to come soon
