Sunny San Jose

Well, maybe not so sunny, but I couldn't think of anything else that sounded as nice. I have finally arrived! After hours of flying and time spent at several different airports, I landed in Costa Rica. With wonderful directions from my friend Kristin, who lives here now, I boarded a local bus with confidence. The bus was supposed to be 20 minutes, but turned out to be 45. No problem, I arrived at my stop and got in a cab for the last 5 minutes to her house. An hour (AN HOUR!!!!) later, I finally spotted her casa papaya and hopped out. Unfortunately I had no colones and had to have the cab driver wait while I summoned Kristin to my rescue. With all that behind me, I hugged Kristin and Audrey and flopped down on the couch. I had been travelling for 15 hours! Note to self...NEVER arrive into San Jose during rush hour! :)

Why is anyone awake this early?!?

Well, it's time for another trip to a new country! My flight for Costa Rica leaves in 3 hours and as I sit here on the computer I can only wonder..."what was Audrey thinking booking me a flight this early?!?" It's 4 am. That's about all I have to say about that.

I'll be in Costa Rica by 4 o'clock this afternoon and then in Nicaragua by tomorrow! What will we see? What will we do? Who will we meet? Only time will tell. I can't wait!!
