hola kevin,
i have just arrive in costa rica. and you have just left!! so far i´ve played crib and gone for a nice walk with a sri lankan, chated with an american whose been living in mexico for 38 years, and some eaten rice and beans.
and about those coconuts: once to celebrate summer some kids i knew in high school got a coconut and tried to get it open for hours outside of a closed mall in langley. we even had one person run home and get a hammer and nail to punch it open. we eventually got it open and it was dry inside! ai yai yai!
that is all. have fun with school! if all goes well and to plan, i´ll be seeing you this fall in winterpeg!

are you in an international development program?
qualitative research methods can potentially be amazing - i took one last year, specifically feminist qualitative research methods, that was SO good. i can't vouch for quantitative research methods, though, because everyone in my program is ridiculously anti-quantitative research.
anyway, blah blah blah. have a good trip!
