jaco!

This was a long time coming, but we finally made it to the beach!  Interns usually go in their first weeks before things really pick up the pace, but our first weeks were crazy.  So we decided to take this week’s Monday meetings to the beach!! And how glorious it was!

There were a few hiccups.  One, that our teammate almost missed the bus to Jaco because her bus downtown was taking FOREVER.  She even bailed at the first stop and pulled up in a taxi as the bus was departing.  And two, that our bus broke down on the way there.  #puravida

But, we made it!  And it was beautiful!  We went to Jaco, the closest beach about an hour away.  Well, in theory.  It’s on the Pacific coast and according to the locals it’s the “worst beach in Costa Rica”.  Let me tell you, the worst is pretty darn good!  It was beautiful!

See what I mean?!  This place is pretty gorgeous.  It was really cloudy when we got there (it’s the height of rainy season) and we were convinced we were going to get poured on, but then the sun came out and it was absolutely beautiful!  No rain at all!!  #rainyseasonmiracle
