We arrived at San Jose Airport around 10 pm Tuesday; we had officially arrived in Costa Rica. We were all very excited to finally reach our final destination but we were also exhausted from a long day of travel, we had been traveling for nearly 12 hours. When we arrived at our hotel we had a quick meal, then went to bed to get some needed rest.
Wednesday we were up early to take a tour of the capital city, San Jose. The city has a lot of history and we learned much about the culture of the Central American nation. We also were able to buy some souvenirs in downtown. It was quite the experience; I was able to purchase a new soccer jersey for a mere $6. The women originally wanted $12 but I was able to get the price down through some bartering.
Wednesday afternoon we geared up to play our first match against Brujas FC. We played well in the first half getting to halftime tied 0-0, we were able to keep this till midway through the second half when Brujas was awarded a penalty kick. After the penalty was scored the game began to slip away, they continuously were able to attack us. The final score was 5-0 Brujas, the score really did not reflect the game. We played well for the majority of the game but we could not carry it through the complete game.
Thursday we will be traveling North to San Carlos to stay for a few nights in the mountains.
Until next time...
