Day 1 and 2 of Costa Rica

Written by Dawn Dallmus


Day 1 – Costa Rica – Travel

June 25, 2012



What a day! What a very emotional day for me. I didn’t want to leave my mom, who was crying before I went into the airport. I especially didn’t want to leave my boyfriend for 12 days. So yeah, very emotional. It’s hard to leave someone you love for more than a week with no communication at all to keep the two of you connected. The flights were long and somewhat enjoyable but uncomfortable. Now being at the hotel, it’s hot, muggy, and sticky. I miss air conditioning and I miss my mom and Eric. =( I cannot wait to go back home.



Day 2 – Costa Rica – Interview, tour, and museum.

June 26, 2012



Today was okay. We had the interview with Epsy Campbell after breakfast at the hotel and she reminded me of myself. Her thoughts and feelings sounded like mine and how I believe the US should be. After the interview we went on a tour of San Jose on foot. There were so many shops and it reminded me of China Town in New York City. Then we had lunch in a cute little restaurant about 5 blocks from where we were staying. After that we went to the high school but everyone was gone because of a protest that was going on in town. So instead we went to the national museum of Costa Rica. I took lots of pictures there. Once again, today was okay but I had a ton of homesickness hit me. I miss my mom and my boyfriend and I cannot wait to see them.
