Goals

This bimestrial has passed so fast. I liked it a lot.
I think that the blogg is the best way to do homework, I’d never seen a practical way to be in contact with classmates and the teacher, through this blog you can read your classmates opinion and so the teacher, the most interesting part is that you don’t have to use papers.
Taking about the class my favourite part was warm-up activities they always include contests, songs or games. I liked role-play activities in which we acted, they were so funny.
My favourite topic was food, talk about it and when we created our restaurant poster, is very nice observe people’s creativity and thoughts.
I liked less when we talked about places and its story this topic was boring.
I think that my class work was good because I paid attention every moment; also I participate during the activities done.
I think I did a good job; I tried to do my best when we worked in groups and individually. I learned a lot but I wanted to improve my knowledge about phrasal verbs I really have problems with that so I think that a little bit more of this topic would help me more.

Liberia

Liberia-Guanacaste-Costa Rica.

Liberia is located in Guanacaste, it is called “The capital of Guanacaste”.
Once considered little more than a dusty cattle town, Liberia is now a hub for the many travelers that are coming to the beautiful Guanacaste area. Liberia was founded in 1769 and is known as the “white city” for its whitewashed adobe houses with the terra cotta tiled roofs. Many charming colonial-era homes can still be found in the city- many with the charming architectural details unique to the area, including the puertas del sol-which are the double doors- one on each side of a corner- designed to catch the sun in the morning and afternoon.
Previously, the sunny capital of Guana¬caste served as a transportation hub connecting the capital with both borders, as well as the standard bearer of Costa Rica’s sabanero culture. Even today, a large part of the greater Liberia area is involved in ranching operations, and still much enamored of Clint Eastwood movies, cowboy hats and machetes. However, as more and more gringos are stumbling off their international flights and seeking out the nearest cerveza in broken Spanish, Guanacastecos are starting to realize how lucrative the tourism industry can be.
These days, the public schools in Liberia have expanded the number of English courses on offer, private clinics catering to moneyed foreigners are popping up all over, and some folks are even looking into renovating the 150-year-old downtown with a full facelift and expanded pedestrian mall. But, like most tourism projects in Costa Rica, development is a double-edged sword, and the nearby Papagayo Project is no exception.
Liberia has long been a base for visiting the nearby volcanoes, national parks and beaches, though the multinational corporations who’ve already invested heavily in the project have other ideas.
Liberia has grown considerably since the Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport opened in December of 2002. The airport saves many visitors almost half a day of travel and has saved many travelers many hours driving from San Jose.
Finally, Liberia is finding a balance between its past as the capital of Costa Rica’s “Old West” and its future- as the jumping off point for many visitors to the area.

If you want to visit Liberia you can do it by bus or by car.

La Peña Bar and Restaurant

La Peña Bar and Restaurant.

I have been there just few times, but it was the best experience I had talking about restaurants.
This great restaurant is surrounded by a nice garden, this bar and restaurant takes the traditional Costa Rican cuisine one step beyond with its preparation and presentation.You can enjoy all these delicious dishes on a brick terrace outdoors ina fresh setting.
This is a bar and restaurant that offers traditional food for very reasonableprices. Dishes include fried plantains, beans, chicken, beef and variousrice based recipes. I ate fried plantains and I really recommend this dish, it is delicious!
There are also a number of vegetarian options, mostly involving eggs.
From the windows of the restaurant, you can enjoya pleasant view. The atmosphere is very relaxed and it is easy to spend a few hours over a coffee here.
On Friday nights there are Cantares performs. Also, I went there one Sunday and a wonderful buffet is offered, with a wide selection of dishes, so you can try a little of everything.

Andrea is a nice girl who lives in Palmares and work as a preschool teacher in San Agustin School. She started as a teacher assisstant and then got a job as an english preschool teacher, job that she prefers because she has more freedom to work at her own rate.

She grew up in Palmares, and when she was in High School, she and her family moved to Guanacaste. After that she stared the university in San Jose and during this time she got pregnant and her son Alejandro borned. Nevertheless, she finished the University. Now she's a Master in Education. She's studying English and she thinks that she will pass all their life studying, because that's something that she loves.

"The real love is the love of your family" she said when she talks about her son. He's her reason to live. "I don't know what I´d do without him" she said. Alejandro is four years old and he's a little naughty kid, also he is very smart for his age.

Andrea loves to be fashionable, buying new clothes, perfumes and accessories. "I love to be a woman" she said, because all the fashionable things that women can use, but I think that's because she can use her feminine power to manipulate men.

Andrea is a very versatile woman, with many goals and a lot of energy to do whatever she wants.

When Jean Carlo was little he traveled with his father buying cheese all around Costa Rica, “I traveled a lot with my father, for that reason I enjoy traveling” ; he said when we was talking about his live.
Jean Carlo is an outgoing person; he likes to go out with friends, especially, out of Costa Rica. “If someone invites me anywhere of Costa Rica, I check my time and money, and I just go”; he said; that justify my theory about Jean Carlo’s outgoing personality.
Jean Carlo hates routine, few years ago he worked in a bank as a cashier, he told me that he hated that job because he had to do the same every week. Now he works in a physical therapy center where he have to do different things every day, “Some days I just do anything, some days I have to do a lot of things” he said explaining why does he love his work.
