Well, I returned from Costa Rica this weekend and I had a wonderful time! I don't think I will ever be able to put into words all the things that I did (or actually, didn't do...I don't know what I did with my time!) I was able to finish my Open Water SCUBA certification. I am now certified for life! A few of my highlights include:- Being able to fly to Quepos for $44 and getting settled by noon on Wednesday!
- European man at the pool in speedo...every hostel needs one!
- My fellow hostel mates dodging falling citrus fruit, I think they were limes...it was entertaining.
- Watching two guys in the pool playing a game that looked like throw-the-coconut-as-close-to-the-other-person-without-hitting-them-but-splashing them.
- Seeing a shark, octopus, and eels while I was diving.
- Having some really sweet time with The Lord.
- The dinners I had in Guatemala City with other travelers that were passing through. Everyone is so interesting.
- My 6am bus from Quepos to San Jose driving RIGHT by the airport, thus, I didn't have to catch a $20 taxi from the terminal to the airport! It's the little things that in life that make me so very happy!
- Eating what I wanted, when I wanted, for how long I wanted.
- Two INCREDIBLE sunsets viewed from Barba Roja (red beard) and El Avion
- El Avion-this incredible place that is made out of an old airplane. I will try to remember to include a picture later.
- Speaking Spanish.
- And many, many other things that only I can recall in my mind. There are no words to describe some of these moments!
Viva La Vida!
