We're Here!
(After some technical difficulties with the computer...) We're here! This is Devin, Erinn, and Kelli giving an update from our first day. From the minute we descended from the clouds, we were welcomed by the lush green landscape and red clay roofs below us. After flights from all over the US and Canada, we all arrived safely in San Jose and converged at the Hotel Bougainvia for a fantastic welcome dinner on our first night. After dinner we went around the table and shared our expectations for the next two weeks--As a team we expressed the common desire to develop relationships with farmers and their families; to see how coffee is cultivated and learn about sustainable practices; to discover the culture and ecology of Costa Rica; to develop a strong relationship as a team; and to have a little fun in the process.
Our team includes:
Carey from Washington
Steph from Ontario
Jean from Ohio
Mary Alice (M.A.) from New York
Jaralyn from Nebraska
Ali from Illinois
Dana from Nebraska
Doug from Indiana
Erinn from Washington
Kelli from Washington
Devin from Washington
The Earthwatch staff:
Sebas from Costa Rica
Nati from Costa Rica
Lisa from Tacoma
Fabian from Paris
Looking forward to sharing more!

You are all about to have the experience of a lifetime! I know you'll work hard, learn a lot and likely gain a new appreciation for the miracle that is coffee - not to mention be inspired by the many people responsible for producing it. I'm very excited to hear how things go.
Cheers,
Christian
Just a note to wish you all well and good luck. Can't wait to see and hear all about your adventures over the next two weeks! Dana, we miss you and will see you when you get back. Kinze will have pictures for you!
Hola Amigos! Have a blast and be sure to really soak it all in! It's the friendliest place on the planet! Forget Disney World we've got Tarazzu:) Hugs and Kisses to Nati and Sebas!!!!
Hey Erinn, your team misses you! Hope you are having fun and learning a lot. We're very proud of you!!
Hey Guys! I'm glad you made it safely. Sounds beautiful so far. I can't wait to hear more.
