Greetings from Costa Rica!

We landed yesterday, but it has been pretty much non stop business since then. Both of our flights went great, and they were both so smooth! At the airport, it was a little intimidating because there were tons of people jockeying around trying to give us rides. It was intimidating because all of them were shouting and trying to push to the front. All of them were very nice though, so it wasn’t frightening. There are a ton of taxis here (both oficiales, official ones, and piratas, or pirate ones). Eventually, the CIS students who landed got picked up by CIS, so we were very thankful. After arriving, the first thing we noticed was how absolutely stunning everything here is. Our neighborhood is so full of plant life and birds. It is beautiful. There are a lot of us that are in the same neighborhood, Barrio Cordoba, so it is great. We all are able to walk to school together, which means were are much safer and able to keep from getting very lost! It was very cloudy today and yesterday, so I haven’t taken any pictures of the outside of our house yet. I’m waiting for sunshine! These are pictures of my room though. I feel so lucky! It is absolutely perfect!

This is Kelsey and I as we were leaving for our adventures!

This is the living area of our house. It is so beautiful! 🙂

This is my ridiculously comfortable bed

This is my desk in my room, complete with pictures and my computer. Also, that is the MOST comfortable rocking chair ever!!

Tomorrow I am going to try to get some pictures of the university and I start classes (if it is sunny). I am so nervous about my Spanish class, but I am definitely going to try to make the best of it!

Safe travels everyone!!  Megan
