UPDATE: We made it to San Jose, Costa Rica safely. Our journey began early for all of us. We all left in the wee hours of the morning from Columbia and Greenville to make it to the airport in Atlanta in time for our flight.
Check-in was a bit of a struggle with all of our bins and baggage, but we got it taken care of; and finally made our way to the gate. We boarded the plane, where most of us sat together for our 4ish hour flight. It was the first flight for some of our team members - and what an experience they had! We had some serious turbulence and dropped a few times in-flight. A few of us were terrified and a few were sick. The in-flight entertainment wasn't working, so we didn't have any distractions.
After a few hours in the air, we landed in San Jose, collected our bags, made it through customs and waited on Fernando, our guide, to meet us at the airport. It was pretty humid when we got here and we had to wait outside of the airport.

Fernando and the bus showed up about an hour and half later. It was meal time, so we headed to a restaurant, La Fiesta Del Pollo, for dinner and to watch the last part of the Costa Rica World Cup game. Costa Rica and the country, or at least San Jose went crazy.
After dinner, we headed to Hostel Casa Colon to check-in and settle in for the night. We did a team meeting and had time to explore the area around the city which is right downtown and near the city center.
We came back to the Hostel and did a closing team meeting, worship and prayer, and headed to bed.
