Our adventures began very early this morning. Ms. Kari Wildman drove us to Chicago at 3am from Goshen. Our flight to Costa Rica made a stop in Miami where students got a chance to eat their last American food for awhile.

We had a little delay leaving Miami due to weather, but arrived around 3:30pm Costa Rica time this afternoon. After going through immigration and customs we met our group coordinator, Mikel. She took us into Heredia where we will be staying for the first couple days. After settling in a bit students got to try some fresh fruit and juices. We got to know Mikel a bit more and then went to eat dinner at a local place with a typical “casado”. After a long day of traveling, students were ready to crash.
