Another earthquake in Costa Rica about a half hour ago. This time it ranked at 6.6 on the Richter scale, and I could definitely feel it here in San Juan. Everything is fine though, no worries here.
Update as far as life more generally... The last two weeks of school are upon us! It's wild how short the semester is for the Barrio Planta Project, especially since classes are only three days a week. I'm not sure when regular school ends, but I think BPP schedules around them, so I assume it's the same. My classes are getting steadily better (as long as one certain kid isn't there in the morning class..) and I feel that we've made significant progress through the curriculum. I still think its hard to really improve at a foreign language - especially speaking - unless you practice WAY more than three times a week, but I can't do much about that after all! Rainy season has finally begun, as well. It's not bad, and it's very much a relief to locals, who were worried about drought in the spring if the rain didn't come. Supposedly it rains to about 12 hours a day in a normal year, so it seems this year will be dryer than most, anyway. We get maybe an hour a day.
Happily teaching, spending time with Emile, cooking, and enjoying this beautiful country! I'm looking forward to Emile's mom's visit in a couple weeks, too.
