Our breakfast this morning consisted of tamales, a catch-all food that is traditional for Christmas Eve. Flory explained to us, “Tamales need to be the right size. The pre-made ones are expensive and taste bad, and are too big. You eat and eat, but it just doesn’t end!” We found the description quite amusing.
Today’s cultural awareness announcement? Do not celebrate the Fourth of July in Honduras or Nicaragua—just in case we did not figure that out on our own. Personally, I'm not going to say much about being a Reagan Fellow. With only a few days remaining in Costa Rica, I am looking forward to the change in scenery, but I am apprehensive of the coming contaminated water, high mosquito density, and extreme heat/humidity.
Another treat today was a modified schedule to have a little more free time in the afternoon. Our lecture today, which was on biochemistry analyzers, was held during the lunch hour instead of later and followed by only a short lab. In fact, everyone else was done with the lab already from last week, but Tom and I needed to complete a single connection on our switching, variable-voltage power supply.
All things considered, we still finished the day extremely early, which gave me a great chance to rest and get caught up on homework.
