let the adventures begin...

Its been quite the week...everyone left me and i had to say goodbye to my host family, which was really upsetting, but then my real, american family arrived... with two good friends from home...and everything has been fantastic. We went to coffee and butterfly farms the first day, then headed to Arenal volcano, where we saw lava running down the side of the volcano and did the hanging bridges through the rainforest. Next was Monteverde, to the cloud forest and zip lining!!! We also spent a rainy day at a cheese factory, a bat cave, and an orchid garden. Interesting combination but very informative and fun for indoor activities. Now I am in Manuel Antonio, for the third time but im NOT complaining. Love this beach. It's unfortunate that the rainy season started so it rains every afternoon, but its been so much fun and everyone is having a great time. And this vacation has totally ruined me for my kind of travel...I am being very spoiled and very pampered and staying in the most incredible hotels and resorts. So going back to hostel life and eating rice and beans every meal to save money will be interesting.
But the family leaves wednesday morning and I head to bocas del toro, panama, for some beautiful beach time. REALLY excited, as long as the weather behaves itself.

Thats all for now! And since these are my last few days in costa rica, heres one last PURA VIDA!
