Today, is our first day of orientation. From my host family's house, I caught the bus to the main office headquarters in San Pedro, about a 10min ride. It only cost me 200 colon or 30 cents! It's crazy, transportation is so cheap here! At orientation, we found out more about our project sites, learned about Costa Rica culture and customs, met other volunteers, and took a crash course on how to teach. It's a lot of information to take in, but I'm really excited to get started! We took a city tour of Credos and San Pedro and here are some pictures below. San Pedro is pretty much like a "Costa Rican college town", lots of people, mostly younger because of the University of Costa Rica and University Latina. The Mas x Menos is there grocery and basic clothing stores. The Jazz Cafe is where some of San Jose most popular bands come to play in the evenings.
