As a stereotypical education major, I would title my blog with the title of a Dr. Seuss book, but it seems fitting for where I am headed. I do not know a lot about Costa Rica, but I know it will be an adventure. This blog will document my journey as an American girl attempting to live and learn in Costa Rica.

Yes, I did cause a car accident today.
Well, the title says it all. Today I was walking down the main street where I was being hackled by taxi and truck drivers, but nothing too unusual. Next thing I know, a man driving his car slows down and is driving at the same pace that I am walking. He is yelling in a deep voice, "Machita, Machita" and inappropriate things that I will leave up to your imagine. Instead of the usual 2 yells and drive away, this man was persistent. I appreciate his dedication. He seemed to have completely forgot about the road in front of him. I tried to hand gesture at the car that was stopped in front of him, but he was not interested in my help. He then crashed into the car in front of him. Instead of the normal reaction of shock, anger, and fear after a car accident, he decided to maintain his screaming at me. Perhaps he was yelling curses about me causing his accident, but, regardless, it was funny. Another feather in the hat, I guess.
