Los Ninos Program - SJSU Alternative Spring Break North America » Mexico » Baja California » Mexicali

SD to Mexicali
crossing the border in the Los Ninos van... Mexicali Team Members

March 23-28, 2009. Participated in the Alternative Spring Break 2009 with SJSU students and staff for one week in Mexicali, Mexico to join the local communities in developing their schools, farms, and bee hives! DAY 1: We flew down to SD from SJC then were picked up from the friendly Los Ninos volunteers, David and Chloe. We loaded our luggage in a white pick up and packed ourselves into a 13 passenger van. The trip from SD to the Calexico-Mexicali border took about 2.5 hours. Crossing the border was very quick. I was unimpressed by the event because I had imagined [View Full Entry]

last night Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » San José » Hostel Bekuo

back at hostel bekuo. last night jenna and i attempted to drive up the volcano but were unsuccessful due to a flat rear tire. this morning we left arenal backpackers to head back down to san jose. now here, i am preparing for my return flight while jenna attempts to change her's so that she can stay another week. costa rica is a wonderful place. the people are very friendly and you feel a sense of community when you are here. they really go the extra mile for the visitors here during tours by adding more than you thought you had [View Full Entry]

Thursday night... Volcan Arenal Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » Alajuela » Arenal

hey all. we stayed in paquero last night due to the storm that hit. we didnt' feel comfortable getting back on the ferry with that weather. we stayed at a place called cabinas margaritas, though margarita was not in last night. during the day, jenna and i left puntarenas by ferry to paquera. our goal was to drive to playa santa teresa because we heard it was beautiful. our detour to islas tortugas offered an irreplaceable experience. we met up with three other travellers: first was "kit" but we call him christopher because that's his birth name. he's from california originally [View Full Entry]

Welcome to Costa Rica Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » San José » San José

getting psyched for landing

We landed in San Jose around 2pm and rented a Montero Sport with Dollar Rental. The road were fairly easy to navigate through with heavy traffice. When we arrived in the city of San Jose, we quickly realized that there were no street signs anywhere and our GPS system was traveling faster than us. We tried our hardest to keep up but fell about 15 blocks or so behind our guide. To make a long story short, we resorted to using just a street map that was attached to one of my guide books in order to find our way around. [View Full Entry]

costa rica Central America Caribbean » Costa Rica » San José » San José

Jenna and I will be traveling to Costa Rica in just 3 days! This was a last minute, spur of the moment trip. Either of us had any intentions on going, but when the airfare went down as low as it did, we decided to buy... and so we're off! My understanding is that it might not be possible to load pictures while I'm out there. I will definitely do it when I come back if that's the case. I will do my best to blog every other day if possible. I'm not sure what it will be like since, hopefully, [View Full Entry]

Island Hop Europe » Greece » South Aegean » Santorini

ferry ride to santorini

June 7th From Agios Nikolaos, we boarded a ferry to Santorini's port, Ormos Athinios. The boat's constant side-to-side sway gave me a drunk feeling. Many times I tripped over the metal lips that joined the doorways of the ship halfway to falling on my face. I hadn't been on a boat this large before and my anxiety was very high. The longer we were on board, the more my fears were regurgitated. It took me at least half of the ride to calm myself, thought the ill feeling was ever present. The time was around 10pm upon our arrival. Still [View Full Entry]

Wednesday Europe » Greece » Crete

calendar

This morning I felt it was important to have a morning alone. I left the pension around 8am and called Brian and kelli. It was good to hear familiar voices. Nothing was opened yet after finishing my phone calles so I took a walk around the lake and port to capture undisturbed images. Morning is best for light and privacy. Many photos would later be filled by tourists, locals, and autos. Upon booking ferry tickets to Santornin, we spoke briefly with the agent. The computers were down and we were unable to reserve our return trip so would again have [View Full Entry]

Agios Nikolaos Europe » Greece » Crete

catch of the day

WE are in Agios Nicholaos on the NE end of Crete. We heard about this place from a man sitting next to me on the plane and a woman in front of us. We had decided to leave Plakias because I felt there was nothing there for us. Last night, we checked the bus schedule and decided to leave on the first bus out this morning. It was worth the five hour bus tour and three bus transfer. This city is just large enough to explore and just small enough to be less aggressive. The people are much more polite [View Full Entry]
