money

I found out today that Anja lives just around the block from me.  We walked home from school together and went to the supermarket.  The prices look a bit odd to me.  1850 colones for shampoo (the cheap kind); it is about $3.20.  They have few bills and a lot of coins.

    Glad to hear things are going well and that you're all settled in. Sounds like your adventures have just started.

    Good luck with the food. I haven't heard you mention any Chicken yet. Is that less popular down there?

    Can't wait to keep readin' about your experience.

    God Bless,

  2. We have had chicken twice at dinner. I don't think it is as common here. I honestly don't even know what all meat I have eaten-for sure chicken, pork and ham. Often they use the word carne (meat) and are not specific as to what kind.
