Butteville - Costa Rica

After more than 24 hours of traveling, we finally made it! I, Julie, thought it would be more jungle like, but it is an ordinary city with lots regular trees mixed with beautiful palms and banana trees. When looking out beyond the city the hills in the background are beautiful. The city itself is not like any city I have seen before, but Glenn says it reminds him of downtown LA. I am now more grateful for the adopt a highway program! We had talked about bars on the windows before coming down, bit everyone lives behind bars. The bars enclose the entryways to houses. It took some getting used to. Overall, the day went well and ended with seeing a parrot in the backyard after dinner. We leave at 6:15 in the morning for the school, so goodnight and thanks for being a part of this journey.
