Blog7_breakfast By Jennie M., guest blogger studying Spanish in Heredia, Costa Rica

My day begins with a plate of fruit for desayuno.  The fruits generally include papaya, pineapple, mango, and watermelon.  I've really enjoyed having fresh fruit for breakfast each morning.  The dish that accompanies my fruit plate varies from day to day – my meals have included gallo pinto, an avocado sandwich, or even cereal on occasion.

Excursion to Mamita’s Beach

Playa_avenida By Alisa W., guest blogger studying Spanish in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

 It has been very hot here in Playa for the past week.  It rained on and off nearly every day, and now I realize that the rain helped to keep it a little cooler, especially at night!  I'm counting down my last 4 days here in Playa.  The time has flown by, and I can't believe I've been here a month already!  I'm excited to get back to the comforts of home, but as I've said before, sad to leave such beautiful beaches.
