Welcome to Turrialba! (No. 4)

Greetings from Turrialba! Another day in Costa Rica and we can’t get enough!

Today we had our first breakfast at the base house and went on to our orientation seminar not without first going through an icebreaker to get more acquainted.

We had some downtime before our city tour that was enjoyed by the pool! Our tour was mostly an afternoon of playing soccer at a nearby soccer field on which many local kids joined our Glimpsers for the ultimate Costa Rica experience!

We came back for dinner and after that, we had our first nightly meeting. At this point, the day has been a complete success and everyone is in a great mood which led to another quick session at the pool to finish up the day.

Stay tuned for what’s to come!
