Day of arrival

We left Atlanta this morning about 9:45 Eastern time and arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica at 12:45 Central time.  I couldn't believe the flight was only 4 hours long.  It was a very easy process and the international flight was very smooth.  Here is a picture of my first view of Costa Rica....look how GREEN it is!!!

Once we landed, our driver brought us to the house where we're staying.  It's a "bed and breakfast" type of place and is very comfortable.  We rested for a bit after we unpacked and then we took off to find a grocery store.  Layne was our navigator and we got lost a couple of times...we had to stop and ask for directions in Spanish...and of course we couldn't understand the directions, but eventually we found the store.  After buying a few groceries (which included paying $6.92 for a 16 pack of sandwich cheese and $1.47 for ONE stick of butter) we made our way back to the house.  It's now 8:20 in the evening and I am completely exhausted. 

Tomorrow will be a recuperation and exploration day before I start at the school on Monday.  I'll try to take a few pictures of our house and community and post them tomorrow.  Now...it's pillow time...zzzzzzz
