Costa Rica!

Eric and I just got back from a fantastic vacation in Costa Rica:

Winging our way there.

Swimming in a tide pool the first day.

Before the tan.

We met up with my friends Chelsea and Naomi for two days.

And we saw this GIGANTIC grasshopper. It was bigger than a hummingbird! And it flies!

You would have to see it to believe it.

Hanging out at our bungalow.

Spiky tree in the forest.

Estuary tour. We saw crocodiles, howler monkeys, and a ton of birds.

Our guide taking a cell phone pic of a fish his friend caught. Costa Rica seems a little 3rd world in that there are not a ton of paved streets and stuff- but it is not. Everyone had cell phones and internet, and everything else.

View of the main street in town from a 2nd floor cafe.

Party boat!
We went sailing on day on this catamaran that turned out to be an insane party boat. We had intended to go snorkeling but just drank all day instead.

View of the town, Tamarindo, from the boat.

Living the party boat life.

Drinking from a coconut on the beach.

Hanging in our hammock the last night.

And getting on the plane to go home.

Vacation OVER.
