Dear Readers,

We just got back to school about 90 minutes ago, after a very long day of travel. I am currently uploading the video footage from today to y laptop. I hope to have our final day review video posted by tomorrow afternoon. The day review will include some footage from our community service project this morning with some children in Costa Rica. The video will also contain some more footage from our day of travel, with video from the airports, planes, and team bus.

Hey Readers,

We just got back from a full day of white water rafting. We started the day with team breakfast at 6am and then we had to travel almost two hours to get to the rafting site. After another short bus ride and a 2 mile hike, we finally reached the river. That is where we received our gear and training. We spent a few hours rafting on the water. Unfortunately, I was not allowed to bring my camera on the raft so I was unable to obtain any video footage. The team will be receiving photos of the white water rafting at some point in the near future. Whenever we receive any photos I will post them as soon as possible. Thanks for reading.

Sunday, October 9th, 2011: Day in Review

Because of the quality of the movie, blogger has difficulty playing such hi resolution video. So again here is the facebook link to the video: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150345068902086&saved#!/photo.php?v=10150345068902086

Sunday's activities included an all day trip into the city of San Jose, which included tourist attractions, food markets, and flea markets. We also played our 2nd game of our trip versus Escazu, who are considered one of the top club teams in all of Costa Rica. After the game we enjoyed a traditional Costa Rican meal and live music, while participating in some fun team activities.

Saturday, October 8th, 2011: Day 2 Review

Due to the quality of the videos being distured, we have decided to post our daily review videos on facebook for the rest of the trip...
The facebook link is : http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150343798217086&saved

Saturday's activities included zip lining through the jungle in the early morning. Then we spent some time relaxing by the pool before we headed to a buffet lunch. Afterwards the team headed to the beach in order to enjoy the beautiful Costa Rican landscape. After a long day we headed to our first game of the trip versus Santura.

Technical Difficulties

Dear Readers,

Just had another very long day full of activities and our first game. Today was a day I will definitely remember for the rest of my life. Unfortunately I am experiencing some technical difficulties with my computer right now, thus delaying the Day 2 video to be posted. However, I will not rest until this video is posted online, it is already 3:45 a.m. in Costa Rica, so whats a few more minutes or so. I hope to have the video up soon.  Also, the clarity of the videos on this blog can be a problem, so I have taken the liberty of putting the videos up on Facebook as well. Thank You.
