So, since we've been here, Pat and Ryan have been giving us all some muy bien nicknames. Por ejemplo...
Hannah, aka me, was immediately given the name macha, meaning white foreigner. Pat gave me this name immediately after sitting down on the plane, but today it has been changed to machita, since several Tikos yelled out "Machita guapa! Machita lista!" at me today in San Jose. I've also been called "Hannah Montanna" a lot, since Costa Ricans have trouble saying the word Hannah until they recognize where they have heard it.
Allison is now La Princessa, after riding in the front of a four wheeler in La Finca Anita "like a princess" as profe said.
Carl has several nicknames. Mi favorito es "Clean Plate Carl" since he always demolishes his casado at dinner..and lunch....and breakfast. But he is also called "Che" because of some mishaps on pronouncing his name. And "Charlie" for the same reason.
Grant is none other than our own "Pura Vida!" for not reason other than shouting that out at everything great in Costa Rica.
Nick is pequeno, or "small" after being jokingly called that by one of our travel guides. Es cierto, Nick esta muy pequeno.
And for the rest of the group...we'll just have to keep you posted! Pura vida!
