Second, a very vibrant scene dominates each of its d

By Emily Guilmette
In recent weeks I have been updating ourKuoda  web site, blog and social pages (please look for us on facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, digg and delicious), to provide better and more interesting information to all of you.

9008631097?profile=originalI’m at the end of my first week of studying Spanish in charming Heredia after taking a few weeks of classes at the Sámara Beach Campus and have tried to take advantage of being in a city again!

 

Yogi I am not, but since trying yoga in Sámara, I decided to look for a class while I studied Spanish in Heredia.

 

I didn’t have to look very hard; my host family “brother” invited me to his yoga class my first night at the house.  So the next day after Spanish classes, I went home to meet up with Andy and
