About a week ago (ha), I returned from a trip to Costa Rica. One of the goals of the trip was to spend less time online and wrapped up in technology, and more time with space from that. So I didn't blog while I was there but hindsight is 20-20 and now I can show you all the wonderful things that were there.
400 year old Ceiba (?) tree, found in rainforest by base of Arenal volcano
If you look closely into the water behind the foliage, that's the crater lake that is inside of a dormant volcano. You have to hike about four hours up to reach this lake, and then you can swim inside the crater!
This is the crater lake from a close-up view. You have the inside of the volcano and the rainforest surrounding the lake on all sides, as the crater is set down inside of the volcano.
This is a hammock chair at one of the hostel/B&Bs we stayed at. You can swing in the mist, essentially, and help yourself to free bananas. They also grow and harvest their own coffee in the plantation out back.
Fungus tree.
Bean Plant? Unsure. But it looks cool.
Road we walked along for about 2-3 miles to reach the hike of the day. Beautiful mist behind the horses grazing.
After you spend the day hiking, walking, trekking, and all sweaty or rained-on, you treat yourself to the freshest fruit juice you've ever tasted.
One of my best friends, Debra, who was my travel buddy and super stoked to try all the local food. This was day 1.
