Welcome friends and family!

I am traveling through Central America with the University of Georgia as part of a program titled Culture and Content in Latin America. Another teacher, Rebeccah, and I are traveling as a team representing our school system. While we are there we will be visiting schools, health care facilities, hiking through the rainforest, snorkeling, and experiencing border crossing on foot as we travel into Nicaragua. In addition to living with a family in Costa Rica for a few days, we will be staying at the Ecolodge on UGA's campus in Monteverde (see pictures and links in the right hand column) and in various hotels. You can check the itinerary links to see where in the world we are on a given day. I have included some maps and photos of where we will be (and will be adding more as we go!). While I expect internet availability to be intermittent during the trip, I will be posting updates of my travels as often as possible--so keep checking in!

Countdown to departure

Well, tomorrow is the day--ready or not! Last minute anxieties and fears aside, I am ready to strap on my Tevas, load up my backpack (which must hold everything I need for the next two weeks--yikes!), and immerse myself in Latin American culture. I will miss you all!
