Meet Flori. He is dripping with sweat and is going to practice creative writing here in Jaco. Some of his stories may become inspired by a little rum and by staring at the ocean. He has been told to “watch out” here in Jaco by people who do not know he has come close to being attacked by bees and has lived in some wild places in this world.
Welcome to Jaco
Cecilia has been hosting international students from three continents for 22 years.
Her food is some of the best food I have ever eaten, period. She enjoys to cook and has developed a huge variety of meals that are not typical Costa Rican styles. Her husband, Carlos, is retired but was a pharmaceutical sales man for the government.
They have visited Israel, Turkey, Asia, and California. Cecilia has 6 sisters, if I interpreted it correctly, and they all live on the same street. She has three adult children and plenty of grandchildren, although I have not met them.
Their house is large. They have space for five students, themselves and two large rooms: one contains a bar and grill and the other is like a large dining hall or gathering room. They could have a party of thirty people easily in there!
Such a rich life she has had, and is content to give us young people a rich life as well by providing a home for the school. She is helpful with my grammar and they both are interested in the conversation I get us into. I am grateful to be staying with them.

(From a discussion with the professions during dinner)
A village needs at least a school, a church, and a convenience store.
A town is an upgraded village with a bar.
Anything else is like a small city.
My favorite thing to see on the roads are the pit stop restarante y bar(usually with a Coca Cola sign on top) These places have the best vistas but are the only structures around normally.

Go to the Costa Rica Tab and check out nearly 200 photos of rain forest insects by the man dedicated to catching every moving thing with leathery wings that emerged from a pupa.
(Disclaimer: many animals are in fact in his hand, but any photo of animals with stingers or of snakes were handled by Mauricio, our Tico professor.)
B. Constrictor was found on a private farm, not at La Cruces, it hissed loudly. Ctenidae is the famous “Wandering Spider” family. Urban photo on page 2 is from roof of our hotel in San Jose.
