Greetings from Costa Rica! Or Hola
as said in the native tongue. The group
began at the early hour of 6:45am local time, with little excitement or
emotion. Breakfast was eaten in silence,
as each player slowly emerged from their respective cocoons. The meal energized
the boys for a full day of rousing activities at Jaco Beach Club Blu. The tardiness of the coach bus allowed the
players’ excitement to rise by the second.
As soon as it arrived, we rushed to the bus to claim seats. The ride was fairly smooth up until our first
stop at a river that could be mistaken for the Nile. As we filed out (single file, of course) our
eyes began to feast on the lovely site of crocodiles. The immense size of the crocodiles, as well
as their posture, proved our previous theory of them being lazy. To be frank, we
do not fancy a day of lounging on a river shore with a creature like that. So on we journeyed back to the bus. Next stop: Jaco Beach Club Blu. Upon arriving we were greeted by the strict
instruction that our water bottles were not allowed. We proceeded to our reserved couches and
indulged ourselves in free popcorn. The
boys could not resist the sound of the crashing waves and hastily sprinted for
them. Body surfing was the choice of
many, but a few daring souls ventured to the surfing rental shop. The freshman phenom Aaron Dang proved he was
not only a soccer master, but also a surfing pro. The side was joined by their two lovely
coaches who went on to claim that they witnessed a tuna surfing through the
waves. Their lives flashed before their
eyes. After swimming we all enjoyed a
long wait for lunch, but the showing of the Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich Champions
League match helped ease the wait. After
lunch the boys divided amongst themselves and did various activities.
