Herédia

It's already weird to think in English, talvez voy a escribir un poco en español y un poco en ingles. Gracias a dios, I found my way to Heredia and back today for my first interview. I had to get up at 6 to be out of the house at 7 to catch a 8 o-clock bus from la Universidad de Costa Rica hasta La Universidad Nacional en Heredia. The trip took about 30 minutes and from there There my interviewee, a forest expert by the name of Daniel Perez picked me up and took me to his house, out of which he works. It turns out he isn't a forester but a researcher who is enlisted by the countries primary conservation and forest management programs to write about the work they're doing and the new programs they're trying. Sooooo although he couldn't answer some of my technical questions about the program I'm researching, he had a ton of prime contacts!

So the work begins. I've also started reading Mountains Beyond Mountains which at moments makes med school very appealing. Paul Farmer is obviously extremely intelligent and focused but his morals and lifestyle are what really attract me.

Went to belly dancing class tonight with Andrea. It was much harder than expected. I will have to practice before next week!

Que tenga buenas noches!
