We checked into our hotel and then went to grab lunch. Everyone had their phones out calculating the exchange rates while looking at the menu. I was used to this, as I just took a final exam with these calculations less than a week ago. Then we checked out a convenience store. The first thing I saw was bananas. I had never seen fruit in a convenience store. The healthy lifestyle of Costa Rica I have been hearing about didn't take long to show itself. It makes me wonder which is more true: Costa Ricans are very healthy, or Americans are abnormally unhealthy.
Walking around the streets was also very interesting. The downtown area was mostly one-way streets with no lane markings, and slightly more reckless drivers than I'm used to. Reminded me of New Orleans a bit. The last activity was a short orientation with the rest of our tour guides, and a preview of tomorrow's white water rafting and chocolate factory tour. I am excited to get a good night's sleep, and even more excited for tomorrow. It's been great so far, and we've barely started.
