Costa Rica has been great. I can hardly believe it is almost over. Only one more day for me and then it is back to the U.S. At least I will only have to be in freezing temps for one day before I head to AZ for the month of January. I am looking forward to it.
Last time I posted, I was getting ready to go horseback riding. That was quite an adventure. I saw tucans, a view of the Turrialba Volcano and a boa constrictor. Our guide actually picked it up...EWWWW. It was cool though. There were some great views on the trip. I had the chance to eat a macadamia nut right from the tree and sugar cane straight out of the field. YUMMY!
For Christmas weekend I went to a place called Corcovado. Its a national park with several different areas that have beach resorts. We stayed in a tent resort and spent lots of time in the sun. I was very nice since it rains in Turrialba quite a bit. In fact, we call it Turriagua. At Corcovado, I had the chance to see macaws, white faced monkeys and dolfins. I also saw many different fishe when I went snorkeling. I ate a termite (tastes like wood). Drank Guaro which is alcohol made of sugar cane. It tastes like Ouzo for those of you that have had that. For those of you that havent had it, I imagine that Guaro is good to use as a paint remover.
I had a laid back 30th birthday here in Costa Rica. My new friends and I headed out to a local bar and had a few drinks and good conversation. I had my birthday shot of tequila, complete with lime and a candle. And I got a nifty ashtray from the bartender. I even got gifts from my classmates and other friends. I got plantain chips with chile and lime flavor. They are sooo good. And some chocolate suckers. The best gifts I got were from Dianna. She made me bring my gifts with me to Costa Rica so I would have somehting to open on my birthday. I got two books. One on running for those people like myself who are not completely convinced that running is for them and another on triathlon training. I started the running one. I hope to use the info to start running again when I get to AZ.
That all in the world of my Costa Rican adventures. I hope to share all the great pics I will have when I get back.
Pura Vida!

In a relatively small area, Costa Rica has everything one could want in vacation paradise. There are secluded white sand beaches with great surf and amazing SCUBA diving. There are active volcanoes and towering raincasino on line
forests. And, eco-tourism is a speciality of the house. Getting around is easy via rental car, plane, or public bus, and the warm and friendly people make travel safe and fun.
