Hi Matt I can tell you are doing good in CR!! About a week ago I had some American friends over and we had a blast, as you mentioned the weather wasn't that good but we still did lots of fun stuff. I wonder where you study, I am Costa Rican and and teach Spanish. I love hearing great stories from exchange students. i lived in boston for 2 years so believe me I know how it feels like being emerged in a different culture. The salsa thing is a must! keep trying hard and very soon you'll be able to show off! Enjoy your time, get confident and speak as much Spanish as you can. El tiempo pasa muy rapido asi que disfruta tu estadia en Costa Rica, anda siempre con cuidado y disfruta de todo lo q sea diferente a tu pais, estas viviendo una gran aventura, disfrutala!!! Best wishes

Spanish
Keep practicing your spanish it's coming along great!
