San Jose… we made it Today

What a group of troopers we have!  Most of these kids are running on cat naps in buses, airport terminals and plane seats over the last 48hr!  We finally arrived in San Jose after a long layover, clearing customs around 8:30PM.  Our tour director, Jonathan, was there to greet us and get us on the air conditioned bus.  The muggy climate was warm, not hot, but definitely thick as we took a deep breath of the tropical air.

We arrived at our hotel, quickly dropped off our stuff and headed to the banquet room for supper.  I have to admit, the menu was pretty plain, but considering my hunger, palatable.  After the meal, we had a quick discussion about rooms.  Apparently, like people, not all room are created equal.  We quickly found out that the furnishings and size of the rooms varied enormously.  While we were debating who had the smallest, worst room, someone from another group asked us if we had a washroom in ours.  She won.

I’ll have to cut this post short as I’m getting tired, but here are a few pictures from outside our hotel.

You might note some colourful night life in one picture.  Not to worry, we didn’t let him join our group, and we did experience the local police force in action.  Not quite RCMP style taser, but unique in its own way.
