 Hola Ridgefield Parents, It was a long first day, but all in all, everything went great. The students had a nice introduction to Costa Rica with a traditional first meal and a nice traffic jam in San Jose.

We got to the homestays a little later than expected, but everyone was waiting for us with balloons and banners making it feel like home for the students. These families are very excited to have Ridgefield. We will get some close-up pictures today and post them around mid-day. Here are some pics from yesterday. Hope everyone has a nice weekend in Ridgefield. It's a beautiful day in Sitio de Mata!!!
