Good evening Dr. Gonzalez,

For the very first blog post of our trip, I wanted to talk about my experience getting to where we will call home for the next 2 weeks. I had a very nice man on my flight from ATL -> BCE named Stephen. Stephen was from Vietnam, and we talked about finance and logistics, and he introduced me to international travel tips. Once we landed, I bud him farewell and got into an Uber with 3 fellow classmates on the way to the hotel. We arrived, checked in, and got lunch at a local cafe. Once everyone’s else arrived we had our group orientation where we got to learn the ropes with our tour guide for our trip. We went shopping after to buy some outfits to fit in with the locals and had a wonderful dinner with everyone. Great start to the trip and making everyday like it’s my last!
