Day 1. We arrived around 11, Costa Rica is in the same time zone as Louisiana, but doesn't participate in daylight savings. Our hotel is in a wonderful location where we were able to walk with our tour guide Fernando, who is very sarcastic and knowledgeable, to a local diner called Soda Tapia. They served "American food", with a twist. The burgers had beans and ham (according to Alex, making it an actual HAMburger). One great thing is you can pay in American dollars and they will give you change in colones. Colones are very brightly colored and beautiful bills.
After lunch we went to the convent store to get Costa Rican snacks, Plantan chips with lemon and salt are actually delicious. Fernando told us Costa Rica has amazing coffee and fruits, especially pineapples, my goal is to try as many new things as possible and soak up as much culture as I can.
Tomorrow we visit the sloth sanctuary!!!
