Well made to the lovely Hotel Bouganvillea yesterday without troubles. The hotel is beautiful with a huge back garden that had tons of flowers, cactuses, and to my surprise banana trees! Today seems be the normal mixup of orientation activities though I'm dreading the Spanish placement exam we will be taking. Just have to hope for the best and the rest of the day should go well. We are leaving for Monteverde after lunch and nobody quite seems to know how long it'll take us to get there, all part of the adventure? So excited to be here, already had myself some traditional tico breakfast of eggs and gallo pinto (fried black beans and rice :)
