Jess' Travel Blog Summer 2006

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to say I have arrived safely in San Jose. Thankyou all for your messages, its great to hear from home. I'm in Alajuela doing some last minute shopping with the group before we head off to our project tomorrow. We are only doing one project, but happily I got my first preference, the butterfly farm, trail and womens empowerment group one in San Marcos. Andrew, can you post the blurb for people so they know where I am please!

The people are fantastic and I'm having a great time! I'm really excited about the project cause I'm on the organising committee for a womens empowerment conference.

The project accomodation sounds more luxurious than expected! We will have running water and electricity. And there is a public phone in the village. I will buy a phone card and get yo to call me back cause its cheaper. Apparently you can get cheaper calls from Aus to Costa than the other way round. Maybe you should get a phone card too!

I am unlikely to get internet access from now on. Post will be delivered to us only at the midpoint and the end of the project. I'll try to write letters but it'll probably take 3 weeks to get to you.

Sorry this is such a rushed note, I'll call home and Andrew, either later today or when I get to the village tomorrow. Maybe Andrew could update my blod for me :D

My love to all!

Hugs
Jess
