Arrival Day Día De Llegada

30. January 2008 by admin.

Woooh, so after a too sober to be on a red eye, red eye. I landed in San Jose, Costa Rica. We made some skype calls on the free internet at SJO!!! Then we went thorough customs and picked up our luggage. So my board bag is retardedly big and we took a van cab, nothing like spending 50 bucks for a 1 hr cab ride, not to shabby, esp since it was a 9 passenger and my board bag took up 7 seats, ill post some pics in a bit. So after arriving at the hotel we got our room, my bed is horrible, but its pretty cheap.

Then Rachel took a nap I wondered about, checked out the basilica and the shrine of the black Mary, Virgin Negro. Then I bought a coke and returned to the hotel at like 10am to find Rachel still sleeping, i was jealous. We then did some research and found where our school is, and tried to figure out cheaper accommodations for this weekend. We also looked into apartments for our stay, internet is a must, but not really an option it seems.

Then we got some lunch, plato de dia con refresco por 1300 calones, which is about 2.50 nice! then jumped the bus to school and met with 3 advisors and the president of the student union. Got some idea what classes ill be taking and more info on life in cartago. No night life, ahh lame! So then we returned to hotel and i slept for like 5 hours, I woke up and wrote this.

More to come, tomorrow a trip to San Jose, so much fun!
