Lunch with a friend

Something I miss doing that I enjoyed when I was working in NC was having lunch with friends. The other day I was able to have lunch with a Costa Rican lady. It's a lady I had met with some other friends in October. Because of the school schedules and her lunchtime schedules this past week was the first time we were able to have lunch together.

I was able to even get a taste of American food as we ate in Kentucky Fried Chicken.

One thing we talked about was the differences between Costa Rica and the US. She said Americans are hard workers, they have a hard time resting and enjoying. She asked how I liked the food here. I said well it has taken some adjustment to get used to having rice everyday. I said when I lived in the states I maybe had it once a month.

We also mentioned the independence of Americans and how different it is here. Kids here live at home a lot longer than kids in the states.

It was an enjoyable time, I hope to get to do it again...
