I made it!!
Hello all!!
Well I made it to Costa Rica. And even better with all my luggage and in one piece. The plane flight was uneventful. I slept for half of it and then watched 500 Days of Summer. It was cute and I really like Zoey Deschanel or however you spell her last name. Once I got to San Jose at about 1:00 I thought that I might sit at a cafe or something and wait until I was supposed to take a taxi to the bus station for my 6:00 bus. However, there were no cafes or anything even close to that in or around the airport so I ended up taking a taxi to the bus station since there were supposed to be cafes and stuff around it. This turned out to be a good thing though because when I went to buy my ticket there was actually a 2:30 bus that I could take direct to Quepos! So obviously I bought that ticket (for a grand total of like $6 or something) and got on the bus. It was about a 4 hour drive to Quepos and there was no AC on the bus so everyone had their windows open. This wasn't a problem until it started raining so everyone closed their windows and it got real hot and steamy in there. Luckily the rain didn't last long. The drive was GORGEOUS. Costa Rica is by all definitions a rainforest and there was so much green everywhere it was amazing. We had to take these real windy mountain roads to get down to the coast to make our way to Quepos and the views of the Pacific and the beaches were spectacular. I even saw a cayman (which is a type of alligator/crocodile) in one of the rivers we crossed and parrots flying around!! It was very cool. It had just turned dark by the time we pulled into the Quepos bus station and I ended up having to ask a taxi driver where the hostel was that I was staying and then walked about 3 blocks with my stupid suitcase over basically a dirt sidewalk. But now I am here and am staying in a dorm-style room with 3 Belgium guys and 1 Swedish girl. Tomorrow I will be moving in with my host family sometime in the afternoon and *fingers crossed* they have internet in their house but if not I will have internet at school on Monday! Hope everything is going well back home and I just want you to take a minute to appreciate your cool weather or AC, whichever one you have at the moment, because I have been hot all day long. It is very humid here and of course I have no AC in my room. Oh well. It will be a nice sweaty night LOL. Talk to yall soon!!
Love, Kelly
