I am stopped at a light on Hennepin on my way home with by 3 year old son chatting away about his busy day at daycare, when I glance over beside me and the person directly to my left is texting up a storm. The driver in front of me is on the phone, and the one behind me is either a) picking his nose with his phone or b) clearly getting ready to make a call. I am pinned in! What is going on with today’s drivers?
I will never forget the moment I passed through customs in the Juan Santamaria International Airport in Costa Rica. Sure, I knew the basic verb tenses and common phrases such as “buenos dias”, “muy bien”, “tengo hambre”, and “bienvenidos”, but I quickly realized that wasn’t going to be enough to navigate the country. Luckily, in the chaos I saw my host family holding a sign, rescuing me from trying to use my useless Spanish vocabulary.
