Geckos: Cute, when they speak with an Australian accent and sell insurance, a little startling when they come to from under a picture on the wall when you go to move it
Millipedes: Fun, catch one for a bug collection, not so fun to find 30 of them on the living room floor and walls
Frogs: Amazing, hear them as background sounds in the night, laughable (usually) when it sounds like you live in a video game of sounds when they all get going after a storm
Humidity: Heavy, a constant throughout the day, building to an amazing instant deluge every night
Spanish: Learning, one to five and buenos dias, now our personal connection with the people “Spanglish”
Cordobas: Currency, 25 to $1.00, now $1.00 to 25
Nicas: Vida (life), did not know them before, now kind, helpful, humble people
Hangout: Relaxing, it was Starbucks, now it is Eurocafe
Speakers: Loud, once just used in the house or the car, now strapped to cars and trucks promoting politics and radio stations VERY LOUDLY
Mosquitos: Annoying, they bit me in America and they bite me here, too! 🙂
