Today was interesting and quite the surprise! After speaking to Epsy, a political leader in Costa Rica, the group left to explore San Jose. As soon as we entered downtown I was shocked to notice how similar the city was to Pittsburgh. The streets of San Jose were filled with fast-food joints, vendors, clothing store, and homeless people. It was surprising to see how many people spoke English and the amount of people from America. We even ran into a group of people that were from Pennsylvania! After exploring the city we went to meet-up with local students. Unfortunately they were not at the school when arrived because their classes were canceled due to political riots. We had more obstacles to overcome when we arrived at our hotel because the power was out. Thankfully it came back on within two hours. Despite all the setbacks, I had a great day and enjoyed the city!
