Hola!

Second day in homestay: Our homestay mother and father were sooo cute! And soooo SWEEET!  They were very accommodating and seemed to have essentially all the same necessities that we have.  It was VERY hot in San Marcos.  It is probably the hottest place I have ever traveled to.   Even our host mother, Felicia, said that she has lived there for 18 years and still isn’t accustomed to the weather!  We slept great the first night and woke up around 6.  The first thing we saw in San Marcos was the pineapple fields and the other crops they harvest.  I thought it was very interesting that the farmers hand plant each pineapple!  They only make 3 colones per pineapple!  After the tour, our host father showed us his barn and how they made cheese everyday.  He also chopped open a coconut for us so we could try the milk.  It tasted NOTHING like coconut in the US.  We enhance the flavor so much!  After that we got to see all his cattle..  They poop…A LOT!  Then we got to rest for awhile and eat some lunch and take a nap.  Later we got to play soccer with Christopher and his friends in the evening and then we left to see a beautiful view of a river in the community.  After a full day we passed out at around 8 or 9 oclock!
