We landed in San Jose, Costa Rica around 7:30 a.m. and were greeted by Carlos, Frank and Ruben, our local guides in Costa Rica. After a three-hour bus ride, we arrived at the beautiful Rio Mar Resort in Dominical. We dropped our bags and headed to the beach to cool off. When the second group of travelers arrived, we ate dinner together, cheered on the 49ers to the Super Bowl and ended the night with a salsa lesson from Carlos’ wife, Laura. The boys and girls are exhausted but looking forward working with children at the local elementary schools, touring Hacienda Baru via ziplines and horseback riding tomorrow. Pura Vida!
