Very early start but for a very worthwile experience! Today, we woke up around 4 a.m. to catch a flight to Costa Rica! We left Panama in good spirits and excited for our exploration of a new country. Compared to our previous flights of three hours, the flight on Taca Airlines from Panama to Costa Rica was only an hour. We were served in our leather seats, breakfast while enjoying movies on the back of the headrests. So much to please college students. Once landed, we had to exhange our dollars for Colones, the Costa Rican currency. With different rates, one dollar in the U.S. is worth 500 colones; so we were all amused that we were paying 1,000 colones for a bottle of water! Then ahead of us was a three hour bus ride into Manuel Antonio, to stay at the Karahe Hotel. Along the way, we stopped at a local fruit market to purchase fresh fruits and nuts grown by local farmers. Even though we are only here for one night, we all immediately took advantage of the beachfront rooms that we are staying in. Finally, when we arrived, we caught some rays and jumped in the waves of the warm water for the rest of the afternoon. For the rest of the night we all plan to go into the town to have dinner along the beach and return to bed early for our exciting zipling tour tomorrow!
Thank you for following...
