DAY 1, Thursday April 16th
After 2 hours of sleep, we woke up to the alarm at 3:00am in order to catch our 6am flight. Our travel day was pretty much hassle free and we arrived in San Jose, Costa Rica around 2:00pm.
Our cab driver, Claudio, picked us up at the airport (holding above sign in his hands, once again, my last name is spelled wrong!).
After a very hilly 2 hour van ride, we arrived at our first destination: Playa Hermosa. A sleepy little surf town, it was perfect for our first night. Starved and hot, we tore off our travel clothes and went right for lunch down the road. My first Costa Rican meal was pizza with avocado (how exotic! ha) and a fruit smoothie. And on the way home I saw my first sign of Costa Rican wildlife, an iguana.
Our hotel, Marea Brava, is right on the beach. So we headed to the water and spent the remainder of the sunlight there. We enjoyed the black sand, Scarlet McCaws in the palm trees, and warm water, all while Margarita, the local neighborhood dog kept us company.
