It has been a while since I've given you guys a nice old fashioned photo essay! I really didn't know what to expect in regards to nature in Costa Rica. I really had my mind blown by some of the beautiful flowers found about. More than anything I'm so proud of my frog pictures. I… Continue reading Photo Essay: Nature in Costa Rica
This has to be my favorite HDR so far. I am starting to really get the hang of it (or so I think). We arrived to the top of this hill winded and exhilarated at the same time. We had managed to hike regardless of the weather and the gamble had worked out. The clouds… Continue reading Photo Friday: HDR – Montezuma, Costa Rica
I feel bad that I judged a book by its cover. Or in this case, judged a city by the comments that I’ve heard over the past few years. San Jose, you were exactly what I needed. We had spent so much time in small towns, I forgot what it was like to be in… Continue reading San Jose, I Got You All Wrong
I had to write this post. I had to write this to let you know exactly what you are getting into when you are traveling through Central America by bus. I thought chicken buses were slow due to the fact they pick up every person who flags then down on the side of the road.… Continue reading Road Warriors: Traveling Through Central America
I think my favorite way of getting around Central America definitely has to be by buses. Not only do you get the personality of riding on public transportation but you get the scenic route where ever you go. Whenever we are in a bus while in Costa Rica, I make sure that I get the… Continue reading Photo Friday: Instagram – On the Road, Costa Rica
As we sat around drinking beers with our friends, I came to the realization that one of our main topics of conversation always came back to food that made us homesick. Even though my pasta in white wine sauce was good, I was dreaming of frozen fish bowl margaritas with a side of freshly made… Continue reading Homesick for Some Good Eats
While I realize this is about a month late, I figure - better late than never right? While taking my bestfriend Brad down to Beach Bums for Happy Hour we came across this awesome parade of children with lanterns for Costa Rican Independence. After asking around about what was going on, I felt relatively daft… Continue reading Photo Friday: Costa Rican Independence Day
To be honest we really haven't done much this past month in Coco, Costa Rica. We've taken the opportunity to enjoy a bit of downtime in the comfort of our own home. Nights were spent popping popcorn in our microwave and watching crime shows on AXN. Dare I say, it was almost a vacation from our… Continue reading Our Home: Coco, Costa Rica
If you read my post about how you’re hard pressed (har har see what I did there?!) to find good coffee in Central America, you can imagine how excited I was that we were heading to the source in Santa Elena, Costa Rica. My bestfriend Brad has flown in for a week and made it… Continue reading Coffee Mecca in Santa Elena, Costa Rica
Spent a day trip going down to Tamarindo, Costa Rica this past week. Seems to be a beginning surfer haven. While it can be quite the tourist trap (you would not believe the demographic shift here), the waves are freaking awesome. I wish we had more time to get a little bit of surfing in… Continue reading Photo Friday: HDR – Tamarindo, Costa Rica
This one is for you Abby from The Jungle Princess! This is our home for the next few weeks - Coco, Costa Rica, or Playas del Coco (according the the buses!). For those of you who were asking for a picture of the pirate ship hanging out in the bay, you can kinda see it… Continue reading Photo Friday: HDR – Playas del Coco, Costa Rica
