4–number of times we went to the beach (I thought it would be wayyy more–I mean, it’s Costa Rica! But, not everywhere is like the touristy pamphlets and websites. Living in the capital city in the middle of the country and not having a car or much money, makes things a lot more difficult.)

24–number of times I (Jason) went to the chiropractor (and should’ve gone more).

35–average number of taxis we rode in each month

7–number of locks we had to unlock to get from inside our apartment to the sidewalk

8–number of months in which we had to take an umbrella with us when we left the apartment

6–number of dollars per hour we paid our language helper, Kattia, to come to our house and help us w/Spanish

3–number of dollars per hour we paid Roxana for childcare and to help us with housework

57–number of seconds that our apartment shook during the earthquake that killed more than 20 people and left hundreds homeless

3–number of different types of monkeys we saw in Costa Rica

2–number of Nebraska football games televised in Costa Rica (which is 2 more than I thought there would be)
