  1. Hi Jesus,

    Nice thoughts! Generally you're doing well, but a few vocabulary comments:

    --"location," not "ubication"
    --"customs," not "costums" (and "costumes" are clothes that people wear for special occasions)
    --also, review "make" and "do" usage, and remember that Costa Rica is a thing, so conjugate verbs accordingly.

    Good work!
    Ryan
