Costa Rica 2008
Going to Costa Rica for the first time in July of 2008 I had no idea what to expect and was nervous that it was going to rain the whole time as we were going during the countrys "green season". By the time I got there any preconceived idea I did have was quickly forgotten because I was so completely stunned by how extraoridinarily beautiful that country is. I am not as seasoned of a traveler as I would like but I have been a few places and Costa Rica is by far one of the best. The added bonus is that some really good friends live there, they went on vacation there together, fell in love with the country (easy to see why), bought property and set up shop! They have totally inspired me to "just do it", nothing is impossible and you CAN make it work... such an important and FANTASTIC lesson in life. I want to see as much of the world as possible but would go back to Costa Rica a million times over!
