Costa Rica!

Apparently I was a good girl this year, so Santa whisked me off to Costa Rica for a week. Great trip! Beautiful place and time spent with wonderful people. 

We spent Christmas Day at Arenal Volcano. I totally expected an arid volcano so I was caught off guard by the rain forest climate!

Our first encounter with coati. We found out that when you see one and feed it, twenty others jump out from the jungle to beg for more! 

I was able to spend time hiking on a road that was destroyed when the volcano erupted, then through the rainforest.

We wrapped up the day at The Springs Spa. Perfect way to celebrate Christmas- just relaxing in the mineral pools!

Stay tuned for more travel stories!
