Welcome to Costa Rica!





Leaving the Houston Airport (with delays due to a coyote), we were finally on our last flight to Costa Rica. With plenty of lack of sleep, most were able to catch a few naps. The view from the sky was incredible and has yet to leave anyone with disappointment. Upon our arrival in the Costa Rica Airport, three lovely natives wore traditional dresses holding signs that read "Welcome to Costa Rica, Pura Vida," in Spanish of course.
Finally! In Costa Rica, lush green foliage is displayed all over the island, providing an abundance of humidity. The tropical forest looks like Jurassic Park to most, and is indubitably gorgeous. We were fortunate to gaze at this truly magnificent view for three hours as we rode in a bus to La Fortuna, Costa Rica.

The day, 1-9-13, we arrived at the Hogarcito Orphanage, with an abundance of happy, heartfelt children, and played with them all for our first day, gaining awareness of the children that we are here for. (pictured here is Shirley).

Tiffani allowed Fabiola to take some photos with her camera, but had plenty of attempts to try and get it back before asking for help.
