Beginnings.

So, I made it to Costa Rica! When my plane landed, I was super nervous that when I left the airport, no one would be waiting outside for me. And of course, I stepped outside and about 10 Spanish men bombarded me asking me if I needed a taxi. One of them was nice and realized that I was super lost. So he asked me who I was looking for and brought me to the Score missionaries waiting for me down the sidewalk. I don't know what I was expecting, but two men and a girl about my age came to pick me up, and they were all Costa Rican and spoke Spanish the whole way back. I tried to keep up with what they were saying, but my brain couldn't handle it. When we finally got to the Score Villa, I met one of the other interns and we immediately became the best of friends. I bombarded her with questions because she's done this before, and she filled me in on pretty much everything I need to know. I probably slept a total of 3 hours last night, because I had tons on my mind and I kept having crazy dreams! This morning, Hannah and I both woke up at 5:30 (I know, right? What's wrong with me.), ate breakfast (I had the Costa Rican offbrand version of Lucky Charms! mmm.), and took a few pictures around the Villa. It's gorgeous here! There's all these crazy tall plants, palm trees, and mountain views in the distance. We checked the white board schedule, and it looks like Hannah's going with a church group today, and I'm going with a High School group from North Carolina. We're going to work at some place, have lunch and dinner at the Coronado, and then feed the homeless. Just jumpin right in! I guess that's the best way to do it..
