With everyone at camp, Alex and I headed to Costa Rica!
For the first part of our trip, we were at the beach in the Guanacaste province. We really did nothing except sleep, read and spend time at the pool or beach. It was glorious!
Our friend loved hanging at our room!
Nice yoga views!
A very dramatic change in the scenery as we went from the West Coast and the pacific ocean to the Northern part of the island and the mountains.
The Arenal Volcano.
We took a tour on the river with a guide and saw monkeys and a ton of birds!
Next, we learned how to make chocolate. The farm grew cocoa trees for a very small batch of artisanal chocolates but mostly for showing tourists how chocolate is made.
Drying the seeds!
Then grinding them
Tasting!
We stayed at the Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa in La Fortuna near the Arenal Volcano National Park. Attached to the resort are the most amazing natural hot springs and a lovely section for hotel guests only.
That's Alex under there!
It was so beautiful and peaceful there!
Ziplining!
We did it! All 13 zips!
Rewarded with an Imperial!
Thank you, Costa Rica, for the wonderful trip!
The next morning after arriving back to Austin, we headed out to pick up our girl from camp!
Just missing our big boy!
