Day 1

We have enjoyed our first day in Costa Rica! Our flight got in just after 11. After clearing customs we met Diego our tour director. Because of the cloudy weather, we had to forego the Poas volcano, but just for today. Instead, We opted for a tour of the capital.

The students are enjoying the hotel pool right now :)

Photos from our first day

1. Diego took us on a walking tour of downtown San Jose. This picture is at the former Military fortress. Costa Rica dissolved its army in 1948 and this bldg is now a museum.

2. How often do you see a street sign pointing to a volcano?!?!

3 & 4. Government authorized graffiti protesting... The government!?
