Today we are seeing a city about 30 minutes away from Playa Blanca (where we are staying) called Puerto Jimenez. It’s amazing how different things are here from the US. The currency difference is probably what has shocked me the most when it comes to culture shock. The bills sound like they are so much money. For example, 1,000 colones is about 2 dollars. I’m starting to just now understand the value of their money since we are shopping in this city. Since I’m Puerto Rican, the food here is not too different from what I usually eat. One big change though is that they serve rice in every meal. I’m the one of the group that knows Spanish so I’ve been the designated translator which has been a good way to better my Spanish. My favorite part of course has been working with the Sea Turtles. During 2 days of being out at the beach waiting to catch Sea Turtles, we caught 8 total so far. Seven of them were Green Sea Turtles and one was a Hawksbill Sea Turtle. The photo above is a picture of the Hawksbill. Loving this trip so far!!! 🙂
