Host family reflection

Four days ago in a galaxy far, far away...okay it was in Costa Rica... The students of planet NELA embarked on a journey to meet the people who would be sheltering them from the disastrous elements of the environment. They were forced to board strange crafts these "Ticos" called carros, they are similar to what we know as "cars" only they had a strange type of music coming from the speakers that these people liked to call "Musica Latina". The music wasn't the thing that was the most foreign, though the way they drove these strange "carros" was fast and at speeds they said were 60-90 "km/h". Once they brought us to their habitats, we began noticing strange dog-like creatures known as "chihuahuas". The people were friendly and inviting, and the food was simple and very good compared to some over things the students have eaten on their adventures such as the notorious thing their leaders like to call "spaghetti". One particular incident did occur on this voyage, however. One student whose name will not be unveiled at this point in time for his or her safety. This said student was taken to la famila where activists in a strange local religion whose name will also not be unveiled at this time for the safety of we, the writers. The particular details of this event are not to be disclosed at this time but we can say they were strange. After all these events the students spent a day at the Costa Rican education system which was long incredibly hot and chaotic, the students were known to get excitable when the teacher was gone, not surprising though where we are from it is the same way. After this day the student returned to the place of shelter to stay another night.  The loding and such habitations of our new families are very hospitable and the food is quite deliciosa. - Luke Sharp
