¡Bienvenidos a Costa Rica!
Today we said goodbye to the city of Granada and goodbye to the country of Nicaragua.
The group boarded the bus by 7:30 this morning and headed south. We drove for a few hours passing along side Lake Nicaragua and saw a few volcanoes as we made our journey to Costa Rica. Unfortunately, we did have a few students and chaperones get sick and that made the drive a little difficult. Most of them are doing much better now and a few chaperones are working through it and hope to be feeling better tomorrow.
The drive to the border took about as long as it took us to pass through customs and actually enter the country of Costa Rica.
The process is actually quite complicated. This is due to a lot of political factors and partly due to the economic differences between the two nations.
Once we finally made it across the border we enjoyed a great meal and headed towards our hotel in the province of Guanacaste.
At our hotel we challenged several of the kids to try to meet new people by having new roommates. Some of the students don't know their roommates as well as they did their last roommates but they're getting a chance to get to know each other and make new friends while they experience this awesome trip.
The hotel pool was definitely the highlight of the night though. After a day of sitting on a bus the pool was the perfect way for students to have some fun and cool down.
We're looking forward to a busy day tomorrow with lots of adventure,
