Wild Times in Costa Rica

We have had lots of firsts on this trip to Costa Rica! We went snorkelling and kayaking at the beach! Our snorkelling guide showed us tons of amazing fish and we held a blow fish (which Karen & I would love to have as pets they were adorable), we saw star fish, held an oyster while fish came up to eat it out of our hands and had a hermit crab race on a private beach.

Today we drove to La Fortuna. While it took around three and 1-2 hours we only went 120 Kilometers. The roads were rough and we are now able to say we went off roading in a¨Geo metro¨. We also took a horseback tour to a waterfall. All I can say is WHOA!!! These horses were not afraid to give you your monies worth. From our hotel tonight we saw the red lava flowing down Volcano Arenal although no pictures were taken as of yet.

Tomorrow we head to Tabacon Resort where we plan to soak in the thermal hot springs til our hearts´ content and muscles no longer ache!

The pictures attached are of a scorpion found on our walk home from dinner, then one of us at the La Fortuna Waterfall after climbing down 488 steps, our first night and only sunset in Playa Hermosa and finally Nate, Chad and Karen mounted.
