Costa Rica in June 2010
The original plan was to stop by Costa Rica on the beginning leg of the RTW trip. However, things worked out such that the wife, daughter and I went there in June 2010 for a wonderful 10 days. The weather was great, the people very hospitable, the scenery spectacular and the wildlife was abundant. We were able to get a great view of the Volcano Arenal, even saw some pyrotechnics at night from the north side. The Zip-lining was an incredible experience. It was sunny and dry in spite of it being in the cloud forest in the rainy season. The lines were high up over the canyons and very fast. Very impressive sights. On our trip we saw monkeys, macaws, toucans, crocodiles and even the resplendent Quetzal. Best quote of the trip: my daughter on the bed screaming as she pointed to the inside of the glass door and the 5 inch spider there: “Pura Vida my ass, I’m going home!”
