Arrival

I made it. I should say we made it. After an early morning (got up at 545 am) and Arian and Anna taking us to the airport, we met up with 4 other people from our group at SeaTac. The lady that checked us in said "have fun in Cabo" as we walked away. I was worried for a minute that our plane was going to the other San Jose, but we were fine. Unfortunately, one of the girls from our group was so sick she had to leave the airport. She´s going to try and come in a couple days. Too bad. Emily and I grabbed a drink at the Fox Sports Bar in Phoenix and watched tons of OSU and Florida fans pile off of flights. They´re getting set for the BCS title game on Monday in Phoenix.

The flight to San Jose was fine. I only slept for about 20, but am in the process of beating Emily in our fourth game of Gin Rummy in a row. I love it. Once we landed at 908 local time, 708 for you Seattlites, it was dark and there was almost a full moon. Lots of stars were already visible. Customs and baggage took literally less than 20 minutes after we got off. Emily and I found a our hotel driver holding a sign with COLIN FULTON on it, which was pretty cool--a real first for me and a life goal. Just kidding. He is one of four siblings that owns this hotel we´re staying at--two brothers, two sisters, and he was great. He gave us a ten minute driving tour of Heredia and all of the sights, including our school we´ll be studying at. Our room is awesome but small, and I´m on one of the free computers now. We´re off to grab some food. Hopefully I can figure this keyboard out later. Hasta Luego, and CONGRATS TO THE SEAHAWKS ON THEIR 21-20 WIN OVER THE COWBOYS!
