The day had a rough start. Getting to Newark went fine but once there, our friend Sharell had an issue with her passport. But- she'll be joining us on Tuesday.
Our flight was uneventful but fun=] We flew over the beautiful Carribbean and got into Costa Ri ca jsut after 3 p.m. local time. (5 pm philly) The excitement in our group was palpable, and after going through customs, our bus was waiting for us to take us to our B and B. The bus ride gave us a taste of San Jose and the beauty of another country. The rustic charm and colors of Costa Rica wowed us as we pulled up a steep hill overlooking the valley below with vistas of nearby mountains. The weather is balmy and breezy and beautiful. We had some down time to get settled and play cards, and play football, and go running/ walking. On our walk, we were passed by a father and a son, riding bikes, and we were called gringos for the first time! Currently, we are waiting to go out to dinner, and tomorrow we leave San Jose at 8:30 for Santa Elena and our homestays. Hasta manana, pura vida!
Love,
Spanish trip '09
p.s. We love you Bob!
