Not gonna lie; a great thing about being in Central America is that you're almost always close to a tropical beach. And for us, the beach is the epitome of relaxing.
You know those plans you make with people like, "ya, we should really hang out sometime...or meet up here or there." More often that not, they don't really happen. But thankfully, the desire was realized this time, and we got hang out with friends from Vermont in none other than Costa Rica. The trip consisted of 2 buses, a border crossing, another bus, a 40 minute boat taxi across a gulf, and finally a 4-wheel drive truck 30 minutes into the middle-of-nowhere-paradise. Definitely worth it though, as we got to hang out with Kathy, Robert, and Luc, and Robert sisters' family - Andrea, Karl, and Alli. Lots of hiking, swimming, surfing, animal/plant observing, relaxing. Great to see friends again and catch up on everything that's going on. We lived with these spectacular people for 4 months back in 2011 (almost exactly a year ago), and learned a ton while there. Click here for a few old posts from May of last year at their place. Thanks guys for an awesome time in Costa!
Anyway, some pics from Cabo Matapalo, Costa Rica.
Not quite our anniversary, but with only a week away, why not celebrate early by going to Costa Rica!
Note the Costa Rican family with the little guy; they said we could come stay and work on their farm anytime. Definitely on the "to do" list.
