The Embassy is much bigger than others I've seen. We had a briefing with the economic officer and the head of consular division. Little known fact was that Americans lose more passports in Costa Rica than anywhere else, however, the number that was reported was only 5,000 per year when there are more than one million US tourists visiting here each year.
We also visited Intel and had a really interesting presentation about Intel's financial services division. The industrial campus we visited was really large and we liked walking through the office area to see all the sustainabile practices the company was using. Intel seems to be doing a good job of walking the talk.
Tomorrow we go to Earth University to learn about their programs and visit the banana plantation. We leave at 6:30 am to go to Guacimo. We're very excited about our day.
