Yesterday we wrapped up our time in San Jose and we're now in the Sarapiqui rainforest in the northern part of Costa Rica. We had a great walking tour of the city, starting with a dance lesson in one of the parks near our hotel. We them walked to and toured the National Museum. From there, we walked to the Cathedral. After that. the group split up to enjoy the rest of the day.
I had a really nice lunch with the other facilitators before visiting the beautiful and ornate NATO Al Theatre, built in 1897. We then went to Mercado Central and took in all of the sights. I got a milkshake and had a failed shopping excursion before Justine, Emily, and I walked to the National Park near the congress buildings and through the other market.
We rejoined Prof. McDougal for dinner, and we found the most delightful Mexican restaurant next to the Theatre. None of us really thought we wanted Mexican, but it was completely different than the Tex-Mex we are used to at home. I had the most delicious Mole chicken ever. Ended the night with a stop at Buckets, across from the hotel. It was good to spend some informal time with the students.
Today we had a beautiful drive through the mountains to the low country. We had a great boat tour on the Sarapiqui river and saw some wildlife before a pleasant outdoor lunch. Adventure tourism is on deck for tomorrow!
