All things considered, there really were some wonderful things that we got to experience in the beautiful country of Costa Rica. Here are a few highlights.
Sucking some sweet nectar out of a flower. Beautiful green country!
This reminds me of Fern Gully. Anyone remember reading that in like 4th grade? Ha ha
Our first look at an active volcano.
Some of the wildlife we saw...
Black sand beach
Our last day we got to go river rafting. There were amazing views of the river and high green walls of trees that surrounded us. It was pretty hard core. We had a blast!
You KNOW we all fell out a time or two.
Us two LOST fans were loving that Sayid was our river raft guide!!!
This was a HUGE highlight. Seeing the bright orange lava flow out of this active volcano at night. It was like your 9th grade science class come to life!
We also went to this natural hot river with pools along the way that you can sit in and a long slick thing you can water slide down. At one point, I just put my back up against a rock and let the water flow over me. It felt like a massage. I looked up through the trees at the dark blue sky and just took it all in. AAAHHH, for the beauty of the earth.
Overall we had a great time. We experienced, met wonderful people, took in the culture. An adventure is what we wanted and an adventure is what we got!
Airport time! SLC airport above. Denver airport below. You KNOW we did the yoga honors in the bathroom. So sick of sitting on the fat plane!
Paul "The mystery has finally been uncovered! Now we know what girls REALLY do when they all hit up the bathroom together!"
This is Paul and he was LITERALLY our GUARDIAN ANGEL in Costa Rica. One of the nurse's I work with is from Costa and he called his brother when we were going down there and told him to take care of us. He picked us up from the airport, saved us when we got robbed and waited forever for us while we were at the Embassy, gave us rides to nice hotels and hooked us up with some fun things to do in Costa so we weren't so stinkin' scared the rest of the trip. People like him remind us to step it up and be a good person and help others out. He went above and beyond. Telling the the hotel, drivers etc that they better take good care of us like we are his daughters. We can't thank you enough Paul!
