Hello, everyone!

After arriving safely in Liberia, Costa Rica, we all rode together to Playa Samara where we will stay for the next two days. At the hotel, we all live in small houses (two to four people per unit). After settling in, we all gathered in the yoga room for a few fun ice-breakers and then took a walk down to the beach. It’s SO pretty! There, we ate a delicious dinner, which was followed by a fun, high-energy salsa dancing class. At the end of our first night in Costa Rica, we wrapped up with our daily closing circle in the yoga room. After discussing our hopes for the trip, we all headed to bed for the night. We ate an amazing breakfast this morning and now we’re all ready for the beach. We are sooooo excited for the rest of our Costa Rican journey to start!
