I hope I have as much energy and zest for life as our house mate, Bill, when I reach 70. He is a New Zealander with an American accent, a very close resemblance to Robinson Crusoe, still travelling the world, having just completed the TEFL course and about to go sailing in Guatemala with friends.
I don´t know how he does it to have that enthusiasm for learning and life, enjoying every moment and hungry for more.
Don´t get me wrong, he has a healthy past of working as an engineer in the Oil industry and a few wives dotted around the globe...hehehe..by the way...he is the one that sings at 3 in the morning and...sleep talks..
Is it all making sense to you??...it is for me...heheheheh..
What an inspiration....
We have met people from all backgrounds...cultures..and ages..studying to teach english as a foreign language, a path to enjoy travel for free, experience different cultures and traditions..or volunteering..
It´s an amazing and enlightening experience...and I´m now hungry for more....heheheh..
We live in a district called Santa Marta which is next to San Pedro , where the school is located. However, we take a bus all the way to San Jose, which is about 15mins for work. It costs just 20 p for one journey!!
We volunteer in the morning...return to school to eat the packed lunch Marita has prepared for us...ahhh..so sweet...and start our Spanish classes at 2 till 4 pm.
By the way...I´m glad to say we have found Salsa classes...right here at the school on Fridays...Amy has stopped having palpitations..and can breathe again..hehehe..
In the evenings, we either meet students/teachers in San Pedro or just chill with the family. Ronald and Marita are so patient with our Spanish!!
Will keep you posted on any further marriage proposals....
hehehehe
