First day out of the U.S.

Today was exciting! We touched down in Costa Rica and I already feel as if i'm about to learn a lot and experience things I've never gotten to see or do before. Everyone seems to be getting along, and I'm hoping maybe I will grow close with people I would have never suspected. A lot of things here are similar to New York. But the air, food, and people are very different, which makes me think about how big the world is and how I want to see more of it. Tomorrow we will see "the real Costa Rica". And although the hotel is nice I cant wait to explore.
