Costa Rica

So this is the trip that began my crazy four weeks of traveling. It really set the bar high because what a beautiful country Costa Rica is, and to have enjoyed it with some of my best friends... I'm a lucky girl.

515 + A had such a great time doing normal activities like zip-lining, rappelling, surfing, beach-lounging, and hiking. We began at the active volcano in Arenal, and then drove to our rented villa in the mountains (I know, how posh) of Uvita overlooking the Puntarenas whale-tail beach, one of only three in the world, and took daily trips to Domincal and the Manuel Antonio National Park. The Pacific Ocean is always spectacular, and from the South American continent, I can attest that this is still true.

It being the rainy season was probably the best thing for us to be our normally abnormal selves. As the rain each night poured down, so did our cards, drinks, stories, and antics. Making innocent games needlessly violent (our specialty), coming up with alliterative alter-egos, and talking about things wildly inappropriate for any other audience, we were hopelessly blissful in our familiar, weird little world.
