We arrived in San Jose yesterday at about 12:00 pm local time. We've been here less than 36 hours and we've done so much I don't know where to begin.  Once we arrived in at the airport, we took a taxi to our hotel, Adventure Inn, where we met the rest of the teams and our facilitators.  The hotel was very comfortable and the food was delicious! I tried Mamon Chino...a very peculiar fruit.

Our hotel lobby, restaurant, bar and all the hallways were open and filled with plants and paintings....also a Koi fish pond just below my room.


We left for La Selva Monday morning about 8:30....we traveled by "mini-bus" and this was painted on the window, made me feel safe:)  (For Marielle)


Views from our trip to La Selva....San Jose is in the valley.


On our way  we stopped Vocan Paos one of the active volcanoes in Costa Rica.  It last erupted in 2009...one of the crater lakes there has a pH of less than 1 :0 - Don't fall in....!!!!

Unfortunately the cloud cover was very thick so we couldn't get any great pictures of the craters...

Volcan Poas Summit




There were several signs about what to do if the volcano erupted....#1.  Stay calm......thank goodness we didn't need to worry about that!!!




My favorite part of that spot was the Cloud Forest....
