2009 Costa Rica reflections

This was a great trip.  If you like opportunities for adventure then Costa Rica is the place to visit.  I only wish we had visited this country sooner as we were in our 60s when this trip happened.  Fortunately we were in fairly good physical shape.

Hiking, zip lining/canopy tours, white water rafting scuba diving, snorkeling were just some of the activities we did.  Breathtaking sunsets, lovely beaches.  Awesome wildlife-monkeys, sloths, frogs, and so much more.  Great national parks.

Caribbean Sea on the east, Pacific Ocean on the west.  A country that is easy to reach from the US.

Friendly people, good food.

Costa Rica was so beautiful and very charming.
