october 10/11

Every adventure has a beginning. Ours begins with  a long day of flying followed by a shuttle to Gaudy's, our hostel for the night-

(we slept with all of our stuff)

..............................

 the next day was full of bus rides, ferry rides, then two more bus rides

(seven hours total)

 which took us to this place

Montezuma, Costa Rica

Our new home for the next four weeks.

And by the end of those two days we were more than happy to not be getting on a
plane, bus, or ferry for a while.

We couldn't have picked a better place to crash ourselves.

Behold the volunteer house. Also known as The Compound or, if you will, Adventureland.

This place was incredible. It came complete with canoes for our use, a beautiful kitchen, two porches, one of the bathrooms had hot water for the shower, and plenty of room for all of us.

For three weeks we were quite spoiled.
