We had a rocky start, freezing drizzle here didn't slow us down much and our flight to Atlanta Georgia went well. We left Atlanta about 7pm, supposed to be a 3.5 hour flight to San Jose. An hour out over the gulf, the pilot told us the plane was experiencing mechanical problems and we were returning to Atlanta. The put us on a different plane at Atlanta and finally got us in the air again, 5 hours late. We got to San Jose around 3:30 am. we got less than 2 hours sleep that night.
Our first day we saw the national theater in San Jose. An impressive building.
Then on to the coffee plantation, I'm sure Sakura wants to hear about that........... but that's next time.
