day 1
On
Saturday, our flight from Yakima to Seattle was delayed and our flight didn't
leave until 2 hours later. I haven't been on an airplane in years so I was
nervous for the first flight. But I got over it right after takeoff because I
started to feel motion sick. We had 15 minutes to get off the plane at Seattle
to get to the next flight before it departed. We had too much lab equipment for each person to handle so it was hard getting it
around and through check in. The flight to Miami was about 5
hours (I can officially say I've been to Miami!) The flight from Miami to San Jose wasn’t too bad because it was short. It was exciting being above Costa Rica before
we descended, it was beautiful and way greener compared to the Yakima Valley. Costa Rica is the first stamp on my passport! Since we were coming from the cold in
Yakima and Seattle I was dressed for the cold and when we got to San Jose I was
so hot! But it felt nice to be in a warm place during December :) Right now is supposed to be their dry season over here but
today it was raining which someone said was unusual weather for this time of
the year. We went exploring in town at the market our main goal was to find
some authentic Costa Rican cuisine but we didn’t find any so we had some El
Salvadorian food which was pretty good. The driving over here is crazy, so
crazy in fact that I heard the government has restrictions about certain
license plates numbers being on the public road certain days. I’m having a hard time trying to get used of
the currency over here but their currency is pretty; my favorite is the one with the deer
on it! Tomorrow we will be traveling to the research station which will take
about 7-8 hours. I already love Costa Rica, I’m so grateful I could come on
this trip!
