The Journey Home

Well, 16 exhausted Gringos set out this morning at 5:00 am to begin the journey back home. Since a bridge on the main road to San Jose had collapsed earlier in the week, we were taking a more “scenic” route back to the airport. It started with a 2-hour bus ride to a ferry. After the ferry ride, we spent a couple of hours in a town on the bay, getting a bite to eat and taking naps on the beach.
Soon, we loaded up again and rode the remaining 2 hours into San Jose.



We were all wondering what our hotel would be like and were pleasantly surprised to find out that it is a comfortable, quant, bug free, place with plenty of dry towels. The rooms are beautiful, and some of them even have a TV and ESPN. : )
The hotel has a computer (which most of the boys already got on).
What a treat! A wonderful place to relax and reflect on the week!
We went to a pizza/pasta place for dinner than ended the night (if you weren't part of the poker game) before 9. Most of us are exhausted! As I speak, I have almost fallen asleep so many times that I continue to type the same line over and over again! I better get to bed so we can get up at 5 am and catch the shuttle to the airport.








We wanted to say thank you to all of the leaders and Peace Corp volunteers who made this trip a success! Everyone worked so well together! Thank you! Y'all are wonderful and we will miss you!











Well, it is time for me to join the others in getting some sleep. We are anxious to get home and to share all of our adventures!
Goodnight from Costa Rica!

P.S. I included the picture of the man with the machety. They do everything around here with them, including sharpening a pencil! : ) Haner, who the kids call "Grande", had his hand at it as well!
