Buenos dias! (Good morning or good day) from San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica!
This is the rainy season, but luckily, we had a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine! We took a long drive through an agricultural district outside of San Jose. We saw lots of crops including: coffee, ferns, and fresh strawberries. The bus driver pulled over and treated us to some fresh strawberries. Yumm! The fruit here has been extraordinary!
We were on cloud nine once we arrived at the cloud forest to see the Poas Volcano. No, for real, we were in a cloud! We learned a lot of new information that we can't wait to share with you.

We were surprised with a special cultural presentation from local college students in San Jose. These students performed traditional dances of indigenous people of Costa Rica.
The meals are very different than from home. Not only did we have rice and beans for lunch, but we also had it for breakfast. Evidently, they eat rice and beans for every meal. The rice is good, but it is no Ichiban!

Next stop was Britt Cafe, a coffee plantation. We were super impressed with how green the plantation was. It made Amanda's heart smile. :) The tour guides were informative in a very entertaining way! We laughed and learned so much. We can only hope that we keep our students as engaged as we were. Hopefully, there will be a video posted soon of our fun guide. Check back soon.
