After arriving in Costa Rica and spending eight hours driving to our destination, our first night in Playa Blanca was a bit of a culture shock, but I was certainly expecting worse conditions.<\/p>\n

Being away from everything not having any internet or forms of communication, I found myself sleeping better than I have in a long time.<\/p>\n

The first official day of the trip, I believe everyone woke up pretty earlier, the sun started to rise around 05:00. As we all prepared ourselves for the day, we have a visitor that walked around the grounds.<\/p>\n

This is Lori, she was adopted and was extremely nice and motherly to all. Everyone took some pictures with Lori, then we began our orientation which included vast amounts of information.<\/p>\n
