At the airport I met the other two wonderful girls from Wheaton and after a short night at the gorgeous Bougainvillea Hotel in Heredia we took the bus to Monteverde to start our first week of orientation.
Above you can see the first gorgeous sunset I witnessed in Costa Rica. During out first week we did all kinds of things including Spanish, square dance, arts & craft classes, talks on CR culture and people, visits to natural reserves, farms, and the tiny touristy town Santa Elena.
