Hotel....Motel....Holiday Inn

Thanks all for supporting us by following our journey via internet (blog). It really does mean a lot to us especially being so far away from our friends and family.

As the title states we are at the Holiday Inn Georgetown in D.C. Really nice town by the way, definitely coming back to visit. It reminds Tony and I a lot of certain towns in Europe.

We just went through orientation today and tomorrow we set off to Costa Rica. Orientation was great!! We met lots of new people from all over the US, there are a total of 56 of us leaving to Costa Rica tommorow morning!!! And there are 5 couples serving which is very cool, we will definately be able to relate!! Training was filled with lots of icebreakers and skits where Tony was Jackie Chan and I was a reporter! We began training at 12noon and were finished at 7pm. After that we got to walk around Georgetown and found a pizza place to eat at. There is lots of snow all over town that has melted and its just awesome makes us feel like we are in a movie,just magical! So we will be arrving in Costa Rica tommorow around 5pm and will head right away to a retreat center in the mountains which used to be a convent and is still owned by nuns and apparently has a beautiful view of the capitol San Jose, we were told we would be awaking to the sounds of parrots!! We will spend 4 days there and continue bonding with our fellow PCV's (Peace Corps Volunteers, get used to the accronyms there are tons!!).
