Day 1

Have Safely arrived in Costa Rica. I don't think I have ever been to a more beautiful place! Yesterday was a busy day coupled with no sleep, getting up early, and 2 plane flights! We visited Banco Nationale de Costa Rica to exchange currency, we ate lunch at a local hangout called "snack" something? The food was amazing. I had Casado con Pollo and a mora bocas de leche...I think! Everywhere you go there are fruit drinks made with milk or water! We visited a farmers market that had every imaginable fruit and vegetable, some I had never heard of. We tried some kind of vegetable that had been cooked that tasted like boiled peanuts and some kind of furry fruit that had a big seed in the middle that they make into jewelry. We walked around the providence of Heredia, City of Heredia, community of San Joaquin de Flores! There are no addresses. An address would be 200 meters from the church, etc! We checked into the hotel, La Condesa...and had dinner at a local restaurant near the University of Costa Rica...or something similar...called RustiPollo. The school is a national university where all the native Costan Rican's go and there were students everywhere. I've posted a picture of us in the Myrtle Beach airport. It's blurry, but that was our state of mind after such an early morning! Day 1 ends successfully.....
