Saludos from San Jose

Greetings from Community Service Costa Rica E!

We´re so excited to have everyone here together in Costa Rica! We all made it through flights and customs and arrived safely at Hotel Kekoldi in San Jose. 

The next morning, after an orientation meeting in the Parque Morazan we explored the sights, sounds, and smells of the Mercado Central and had a tipical Costa Rican lunch before our bus tour of the city. After the citty tour we got to show off some dance moves at a merengue and salsa lesson and we topped off the evening with a terrific pasta dinner. 

Today we will we head to the small village of Matambu situated on the Nicoyan Peninsula, our home base for the next 4 weeks.  Everyone is excited to get to know the people in our host community at the fiesta de bienvenida (welcoming party).

That's all for now! 
Rebecca and Nick
