Costa Rica = Pura Vida!

Hello from Costa Rica everyone! All I can say is if you havent been here than you need to get here any way that you can. It is a MUST in your lifetime! This country is amazing and I have only seen a tiny portion of it. I am sitting here in an "Internet Lounge" where you pay by the minute. I dont have a ton of time to type but thought I would just make a quick post to let it be known that I did arrive and I am truly enjoying every minute of it. It has been filled with great food, lots of laughs with my crazy parents and brother, awesome waves in the pacific ocean, lots of fruit (mangos, papayas, guava, pineapple, etc), bike rides, iguana watching on the streets, beautiful men watching (yum!) and just looking at the most amazing scenery that I have ever seen in my life. I had to break the news to Jose on the phone last night... I let him know that Costa Rica has his country (El Salvador) beat by leaps and bounds when it comes to beauty. Sorry Jose but this place has stolen my heart. Anyway... I am kind of rambling....but just wanted to say that all is well. We are staying here for a few more days and then heading across the country to the carribean side to a place called Puerto Viejo. We are currently in a place called Samara. Anyway... tomorrow is going to be filled with much more beach time and maybe a little excursion off to another beach. We may do a boat trip or rent some motorcycles and scooters to zip off somewhere. Speaking of zipping off somewhere....I konw that my brother and dad are going to do the canopy ziplines in the jungle but I dont think I am up for that...I am afraid that the cable might snap and that could be the end of me. I am super scared of heights! Well... I am off to swing on the porch in our private little villa and sip on a piña colada....like they say in Costa Rica....Pura Vida!
