Day 1 and the Beginning of Day 2

 

You know you are in trouble when…your suitcase weighs 47 pounds, you want to buy some souvenirs, and the maximum weight of your suitcase is 50 pounds otherwise you have to pay.

Our plane rides were mostly uneventful other than a suitcase that was almost lost. We nicknamed ourselves the brownies because of the color of our shirts. When we got here, we were greeted by Jorge and drove to the hotel. The hotel was very nice and although I did not go in the pool because I couldn’t find my bathing suit, other people did and it looked like they had a lot of fun. Dinner and breakfast were good experiences because we go to try some new foods (we had rice and beans as part of our breakfast). on day 1, I was so tired that I went to bed at 8:30 and fell asleep immediately. We had to wake up at 5:00 this morning but it was actually 7:00 for me so it wasn’t too difficult. We are now heading to Limon to see the sloths or los perezosos in Spanish which also means lazy. I’m sure that the rest of the trip will be busier than yesterday was but I am positive that it will be a lot of fun. Adios!
