Today was our first full day in Costa Rica and it has been absolutely amazing so far. I can't even describe how beautiful the scenery alone is. Not to mention the fact that we basically have the entire inn to ourselves. Could things get any better (from what I've heard they can, and will)?!
This morning we had a delicious breakfast with all of the usual things we would eat in the U.S. (eggs, toast, orange juice), plus some local foods (rice & beans, plaintains, etc.). After that we listened to a talk by a man who works in the Costa Rican Commerce of Industry, which was actually a lot more interesting than it sounds. He gave us some general information about the country, and discussed economic, social and political and trends and answered all of our questions.
The afternoon consisted of group visits to Intel, lunch time and free time to lounge by the pool. Then this evening we had our official orientation and now we are about to head down to our welcome dinner, graciously provided by our host program API (and cooked by the hotel staff).
I can't believe that it's only the first day and we have so many exciting adventures still to come! Stay tuned for more updates!
