Welcome to my blog! I decided to name my blog "Pura Vida" because it is the motto of Costa Rica, and it roughly translates to "plenty of life" or "full of life" and is often used as a positive affirmation about one's life. During my stay in Costa Rica I hope to learn to live my daily life according to this sentiment and to expand my knowledge about sustainable lifestyles.
Day 1 was a very hectic and tiring day, including several hours of plane travel. Going through immigation was difficult because the woman behind the counter was speaking only Spanish, but other than that the travel went smoothly.
The bus ride to Atenas was truly breathtaking. I would have taken some photos but I was so exhausted that I merely stared stupified out the window. The geography is truly amazing, with mountains and sheer cliffs everywhere, and abundant wildlife.
Today is orientation. This morning I got a tour of the field station and visited Atenas, the town nearby, where I could exchange for the local curreny, colones, and purchase some school supplies.
I will add some photos hopefully later today!
