We have arrived in Costa Rica!! The flights were great (Mel got to fly first
class so it was extra great for me!) and we arrived in beautiful, green San
Jose, Costa Rica. We checked in to our
beautiful old hotel and Bryce and I were lucky enough to score the only room in
our group with AC and a nice big bed!
Pretty sweet! We have had time
today to walk freely around San Jose. Enjoyed
our first meal – chicken, plantains, rice, black beans, potatoes and something
with a yummy sauce, and chicken empanadas – oh and oat horchata. Pretty yummy!
Went in the National Cathedral (cool old confession booths!), browsed
through some authentic market places, enjoyed a Costa Rican pastry. Been great.
We are meeting for dinner with the group here in about an hour. Been a light rain since we got here. Surprised by the US influence here – seen a
lot of fast food chains. Thought the
line out on the street for McDonalds was a little crazy!
