Day 1

March 1, 2014

Today I woke up at 4:00AM to get to get to Columbus State University by 5:00AM. We left around 5:45AM for the Atlanta Airport. We arrived got checked in and cleared security. We had some breakfast and then shortly after we boarded the plane. After 3 hours and 15 minutes of flying we arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica. We went through customs and immigration and proceeded to find our transportation.

Our driver took us through the heart of San Jose. We saw how crowded San Jose is. We then proceeded to go to La Selva. We saw various types of trees along the way. Our driver would tell us about key things in Costa Rica. He told us about El Rio Sucio. The river has water that is combined with sulfur (from the volcanoes) and water. On the other side was just regular water. These two elements combined to make El Rio Sucio. We arrived at La Selva and had a rundown of the rules and regulations. We then went to gift shop to get some drinks. I got my personal favorite Fanta Kolita (which is only found in Costa Rica). We then took a walk with our luggage to our sleeping quarters. I went with some of the members of the group to look around and we found some monkeys. Around 5:30ish we went to have dinner. We had chicken, rice, beans, and pumpkin. We ended our day by meeting with our professors for a rundown of tomorrow.
