Costa Rica




The road to La Fortuna, Arenal Volcano. 

Mountain Paradise
This amazing hotel was the perfect start to our Costa Rica trip. We went ziplining , found snakes all over the property and swam in the hot springs from the Arenal Volcano.

We pulled off the side of the road to find natural hot springs from the Arenal Volcano. This was fortunately not a major tourist spot so the place was left all for us and a couple locals.  







                 




Jaco, a great surf town.  Unfortunately we got what seemed like fatal bug bites. We managed to join the nightlife scene and had a great time.

There is nothing better then a fresh fruit smoothie

 Most beautiful beaches in the world

Cicadas....This loud insect is all over Panama and Costa Rica


Milo Bekins Bar (Our search to find Richards old time buddy is a story tooo long to tell)

Montezuma
This was our favorite destination in Cost Rica.  We enjoyed a great day snorkeling at Tortuga Island, met some amazing people and rented ATV's  to visit the beaches of  Malpais.

  1. Lauren/Andrew: I recognized the beach with the havalina and the parrot - Stacy and I went there when I visted her in Costa Rica. How'd you like the bathroom situation, where it's only $1 to use the outhouse? :( Your pics are great! You wouldn't get close to that tarantula without glass between you, and when I saw snake pics, I could almost hear you screaming :)
