Costa Rica Travels

Those who know me, know that I love Costa Rica. This was our 3rd trip in 13 years. The 1st time we went to Costa rica we truly were "gringos"! Loving the wildlife and rainforest, and the Ticos. (what the costa rican people call themselves.) the culture is amazing. Our 2nd trip was 5 years ago and we did notice that tourism had found Costa Rica. Some places had lost some of the "culture" we loved. So since then we have wanted to return...before the Costa Rica we loved disappeared. We were worried that eventually Costa Rica small towns and beaches would become americanized and loose some of their charm. Enough said...I will post some photos and tell you a bit out our 2013 trip. (which we toured different places than we had been previously) This is the 1st time we flew into Liberia instead of San Jose. It was incredible, a brand new small airport that is super easy to drive away from. Roads are well marked! Also the 1st time we flew at night...this also worked well for us. No jetlag! Slept from edmonton to Houston, ate breakfast and soon back on plane to land at 12:30 in Costa Rica. Perfect arriving in daylight, getting settled with rental house, groceries bought. (of course beer stocked in the fridge) and still time to see the beach and monkey's. Life is good! We meet with friends that night and had a great supper on the beach. the night air is so welcoming. You never need a sweater, it just is the best temperature ever! But bedtime was early I think we made it to 8:30. HAHA.... so glad to be back in my favourite Costa Rica.
