I have arrived in Costa Rica!!


!Hola a todos!!! 

 I have arrived in Costa Rica just a few days ago, and the wacky weather already got the best of me! But, I am loving being here! Everything is soooo green! I love it! 

Just a few mishaps about my trip and the first few days here and already so much has happened!

All students arrived at the airport and made it here safe (except my luggage) of course!

The next day we went to the program orientation and I was able to participate in the walking tour of downtown San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. It is filled with all types of people and buildings and since San Jose is a fairly small area, downtown was very vibrant with all kinds of locals as we all foreigners like us. Costa Rica has walking culture so everyone walks everywhere, since distances are not that far from the downtown area. Here are a few of my favorite buildings in downtown San Jose.

First week at the UNIBE campus

June 27, 2019... On this day we were picked up at the bus stop and were taken to get to see the UNIBE Campus which is where the graduate students will be taking their courses. UNIBE is actually a campus where the school of medicine and other sciences are taught, we actually share a small campus right next to this big structure, but we are surrounded by all the local students that attend this campus. We also had the opportunity to meet our instructors and had the chance to walk around campus and met local students as well.
