First stop - Costa Rica!

After meeting up with the TBB group in Miami we boarded a flight for El Salvador for a transfer ... and then FINALLY made it to Costa Rica. The trip took approximately ten hours. Oh, and did I say, we are lucky to be alive? It´s ¨rain season¨ in Costa Rica, making it very difficult for planes to land at times and it seems our flight was one of those times. The pilot said we only dropped 100 feet in altitude, but my stomach says it was at least a mile. When we finally touched grounded we skidded a bit, but I was too happy to catch up with my insides to notice much.   


After collecting our bags at the airport, we made our way to the hostel where we are staying. The room was actually better than what I had imagined. We all had room to spread out on the floor and I actually think we outnumbered the bugs. I've been told that won't always be the case.  

Today we will take a bus to Uvita, Costa Rica, a costal town where we will be for TBB Orientation. Ahhh, well, this computer is extremely frustrating - since everything is in Spanish and there are keys such as this ¿¡¿Ñ... So,I am going signing off. I miss everyone terribly and will try to update this from Uvita in a few days if Internet access allows.
