Day 1 - Is in the Books

Click on READ MORE to see the full post and photos… We had quite the day. We met up at the high school at 1:00 am, then headed to Boston. Fourteen hours later we cleared customs in San Jose, Costa Rica, and the fun began. We headed to the city center for food. The kids broke into groups and explored and ate. We all went to the bank to withdraw Colones, the local currency. Then we proceeded to have a guided tour of the city from our tour guide, Daniel. He is amazing. We already started seeing wildlife! Daniel gave us a passionate history of his country and explained all the trip details. After about 3 hours of touring the city we headed to our hotel. The kids still had lots of energy and headed straight to the pool for some fun. We had a nice dinner across the street from our hotel and they all enjoyed cleaning up and winding down after a very long day. Note to parents, it’s 2 hours earlier here. I usually do my posts after dinner, so if you don’t see a post before you go to bed, check first thing in the morning and it will be there. Tomorrow, we get to sleep in, with breakfast at 8:00 and then we begin our journey north. You can click on the first photo below and then scroll through the rest for larger versions…
