2016-COSTA RICA HFH-GV BUILD

I took a taxi from my SERVAS hostesses house to a very nice Marriott hotel in San Jose, meeting the the team of 12 others plus our local affiliate guide.  We had a good dinner there and an introduction to the build and all the team.  The next day we took a bus to Buenes Aires, where we stayed during the build, and every day traveled about 30 minutes to the build site.  It was hot and humid!  My neck (and hip, a bit)  was hurting quite a bit so I was not able to work very hard as I had hoped.

It was SO hot.  Trying to get a bit of shade while resting.
