Connie in Morocco and Beyond

These are my travel experiences beginning with my Peace Corps service in Morocco from 2006-2008. At the request of friends and my own desire to document, I continued blogging my journeys to other countries as well as in the U. S., including my service as a Peace Corps Response Volunteer in South Africa for most of 2014. This blog will continue as my travel journal.

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.

Lots and lots of digging!

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