Boy do I have some stories to tell you! These past two weeks we have been in Costa Rica. We went to San Jose, La Fortuna and Manuel Antonio. The trip has been awesome. I have been to Costa Rica before but going with Logan and S.O.A.R. made the experience completely new.

San Jose 3:00 pm local time: Our plane touched down at San Jose international Airport, we walked through customs, which was surprisingly empty. We went to baggage claim to collect our bags. Then we met our driver His name was Willie. From there we drove to the backpackers hostel in San Jose. After settling in we all got up and went to a market in a square near our hostel. Then that night we walked around the market district and got dinner. It was an awesome place.

La Fortuna 5 o'clock p.m: After riding through the stunning countryside for a few hours it was nice to get back in our cabanas. The next day we went horseback riding up the side of the volcano. Then after that we went and chilled some natural hot springs that are heated by the volcano itself. The day after that we went on a canopy zip line tour. We were right near the bottom of the volcano. I would love to go back there to explore someday.

Manuel Antonio 2:00 pm local time:  This was my favorite part of the trip. I got to go surfing again.  I got a whole bunch of wave. We also got to walk through a small Rainforest. I was considering buying a sword fish sword but in the end I didn’t. After this we went back to San Jose.

I can’t wait to go back to Costa.
