Greetings from Costa Rica!

Hello everyone!!!

Yesterday the Glimpsers arrived in Costa Rica !!!

After many days of preparation, everyone finally arrived at the beautiful destination to start our journey together.

The Glimpsers arrived safely and on time to our destination, after the airport and introduced ourselves we drove from San José capital to Turrialba, in the central Atlantic side of the country, surrounded by mountains and green hills.  We stopped to enjoy a yummy Costa Rican lunch and our students tried their first “ Casado “ which is a traditional Costa Rican dish with rice, beans grilled chicken, and salad. They loved it and right after that, we drove to our final destination.  Rain came through but our experienced driver Enrique, took us safely to our base house, Siloé!

The lovely staff from Siloé received us with a very delicious dinner, buffet style, after we settled in their rooms the students finally got to bed!

We just started our adventure, stay tuned…

Greetings from Costa Rica!

The food sounds amazing! Hate that the students were greeted with bad weather, but amazing that they were able to get there safely. Please take food pics, I would love to see it!

Wondering why we’re not seeing very many updates about the group. It’s been 3 days since the last post.
Thank you

Good morning, I am also wondering why we aren’t seeing any new pictures and the pictures uploaded are too blurry to see if my daughter is in any of the them. I was told new pictures would be available daily. It’s been 4 days now. Please keep us updated!

Hello friends and families of T2A Glimpsers! Sorry for the delay, there was a small technical glitch and you should now be seeing the blog posts more regularly posted from this fantastic group!

It’s such a funny coincidence that we were assigned the same delegation number, T2A. The only differences are that your trip started 2 days earlier than mine, and my trip was last year. I hope you learn a lot and enjoy living the Costa Rican life for these ~2 weeks, Yelitza!
