And all through Hotel Colaye
Not a student was stirring,
Cause traveling tired'em out, yeah!
After a successfully uneventful two flights, we have arrived in Costa Rica! We met our touring partners, 10 students and 4 chaperones from Cambridge, MA and hopped on our very nice coach bus expertly guided through the streets of San Jose by the one and only Jose, bus driver extraordinaire. Margel Valentine, our equally talented tour director, gave us the play by play for tonight and tomorrow, and we arrived at Hotel Colaye shortly after 11pm with a sandwich, cookies, and a juice box (mixed fruit flavor here means banana, mango, and pineapple) waiting for each of us. Students enjoyed a few minutes in the open patio before adjourning to their rooms for a midnight curfew. Jon Blachley from EF Tours (you met him at the first info meeting) is traveling with us as well, so for those keeping score, that's 8 chaperones for 23 students. I like these odds. :)
4 room checks later, I can report that all are safe and sound and tired. Tomorrow we go to INBioparque, a biodiversity center, and La Fortuna where we'll have a chance to swim in the hot springs! 7am comes early, so that's all for tonight.
Adios! Pura Vida!

The hotel looks pretty! So glad to hear everyone arrived safe and sound. Have a great day at the INBioparque and hot springs!
