San Jose.... I´m here!
Right now I´m sitting in an internet cafe... owned by some Michigan guy, in the beautiful city of San Jose. And by beautiful, I mean not beautiful at all. Kind of smoggy and gross. Anyways, flight was fairly uneventful, except for the two hour delay, and then the one hour wait through immigration when I got here. And the fact that I got into the citizen line up and not the visitor line up. My bad. But the airport was gorgeous here, the weather is very hot and it was sunny. The drive into the city was goregous, amazing homes to see and the entire city is surrounded my mountains. However as we drove into the city, it´s not as nice.. it´s dark and overcast now, and pretty crowded, and to be honest, ghetttto. The hotel, not too bad, I have my own room with my own bed and shower (Thank God!) and the other volunteers seem really cool, so does the organizer. So the plan is... go find some food (Quiznos), have a shower and nap...then probably call home. I admit I sort of miss home already... It´s so weird being somewhere so foreign where I literally know no one, and I´m thousands of miles away from everyone... it was pretty tough to leave Mommy today, but I guess that's to be expected. I'm very excited for tomorrow though.. we wake up, have breakfast then take the 4 hour jungle drive to Cahuita.. see the beach, meet the host family, and have a big welcome dinner.... should be fun!!
Already missing everyone.... love lots Nat xo
