I woke up to the sound of thunder around 4 am. After getting an hour of sleep and worrying about my flight being delayed, I arrived at the Lafayette airport. Our group met up and boarded our connecting flight to Atlanta. While in the airport, we shopped and got some breakfast. After flying for a little over 5 hours, we finally arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica. After going through customs and exchanging some USDs for Colones, we were greeted by our guides, Fernando and Gabbi. We then began our journey to the hotel.
Costa Rica is in the process of transitioning from its dry season to wet, so we experience a little afternoon showers on our way to the Tryp Sabana. After everyone dropped their luggage off in their rooms, we walked a few blocks to the restaurant to grab dinner. The burgers at Soda Topia had refried beans on them and were very good. I washed that down with fresh strawberry juice.
After dinner we stopped at a convenience store, before going back to the hotel. I wanted something unique to the CR culture, so I bought some plantain chips to snack on. When we got back to our hotel Gabbi and Fernando gave us a brief orientation and told us about our day tomorrow. We're going white water rafting, followed by a visit to a chocolate factory. I'm very excited for tomorrows activities, but since I'm running on an hour of sleep, I'm going to call it a night. Buenas noches, Costa Rica!
