Those were the days...

My family just got back from a trip to Boston to watch my older sis graduate with her PhD. It was an exciting trip and I really wanted to be there to support her but wasn't able to go. So, to stave off the jealousy of their trip, I'm finally posting my pics of Costa Rica. We went at the beginning of March and had a fantastic time.



This is canyoneering by Arenal volcano.

Our sweet ride up to the rapel areas

On our drive to Manuel Antonio. One of the bigger towns with a school and soccer field.

I never got over how beautiful it was.

Our Mangrove tour out of Manuel Antonio.

Our last day. We took a sailboat tour and ended up being the only ones on the boat. It was fantastic. We chased dolphins, ate seafood, and went snorkeling off the boat.

A sample of the wildlife.

There is a sloth there- look close and you can see its head. Below right is a boa.

One of these monkeys almost attacked M. It was really funny- for us.
