“Oh The Places You’ll Go”

Dear Dr. Seuss,

Let’s just say that today’s been a long day. Six hours of flight has left me less than delight. The entrance to San Jose has been a sight. Ending our destination at 8…

Alright, enough with the rhyming. Traveling from the US has been pretty uneventful but the company has been great. I’m getting to know my 55 fellow Tico 20 volunteers. We are an interesting, lively and diverse group.

After arriving at our retreat site (PS: It was a convent but converted into a retreat / conference site), we met our Country Director. Understanding our long travel and desperate need for rest, his welcoming message was a bedtime story: Oh the Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss. Easing our fears and anxieties about being in Costa Rica, he sent us off to bed.

All of that was to say that I made it safely, now off to sleep under these sheets.

(No more lame blogs, I promise.)
