Pre Departure

Hello friends!

We are excited to be leaving soon for our Bryant University Sustainability Marketing 385 course to study the Coffee Industry in Costa Rica. We leave Tuesday morning and will be in San Jose Tuesday evening. We hope to share our experiences with you all as we embark on a rich learning experience. Please stay tuned for a daily blog with pictures, videos and updates on what we are learning.

Pura Vida! ("Pura vida literally means Pura = pure and vida = life, but "Pure life" in Spanish would be "Vida pura" instead, so the real meaning is closer to "plenty of life", "full of life", "this is living!", "going great", "real living","Awesome!" or "cool!" It can be used both as a greeting and a farewell, to express satisfaction, to politely express indifference when describing something or even to say "thank you" or "you're welcome". The phrase has become universally known in Costa Rica and it has been used by many Costa Ricans (and expatriates) since 1956") ---Dictionary of Latin American Terms via Wikipedia
