Day 1- Welcome, Good Shepherd Episcopal School! This was the beginning of an incredible adventure in Costa Rica. The group was picked up with a very warm welcome at the airport, the group headed directly to lunch to eat some traditional Costa Rican cuisine. With full stomachs, the group moved to the Pacific coast of the country to meet their Costa Rican families. That first hug from their Costa Rican mom initiates the immersion of the group in the beautiful culture Costa Rica has to offer.

Day 1: Upon arrival into Costa Rica and exiting the airport, the NMSU Aggies met the STV Group Assisant, Xeomy. We grabbed some food and headed to a local hotel to enjoy the rest of our afternoon by the pool and planned for a great night of sleep and rest to get our energy ready for the next day.

DAY 1

Welcome to Costa Rica, after their flights, we picked them up at Daniel Oduber Airport (Guanacaste, liberia) where we started going to the first stop which was the El Jardin Restaurant and they tried their first Costa Rican food. On the way to the Hotel they had the opportunity to see monkeys, birds, some typical trees from this area and the beautiful Flamingo beach. A couple of minutes later, we got to Casas Del Toro where students are going to stay in beautiful and comfortable rooms. Later on, we had dinner and Carlos from Siempre Amigos talked some details about the next day for the volunteer project in Lorena where they are going to work. The group was very excited for the next day! Pura Vida.
