Recently I was in Costa Rica. It was an amazing place, and I think I’ll be going back at some point. While I was there, I slacked on taking photos. Luckily all the 6 girls on the trip weren’t, but I still take a certain amount of pride in my own abilities and photos. Here are my favorite 3 that I took.

This was taken on the beach at Santa Teresa. It was my favorite place we stayed, for the food, the company, the sights, the relaxation.

We almost got murdered by this beast driving by Lake Arenal. Wildlife abounded, but this traveler almost became lunch. Luckily the beast settled for Pringles.

We did a lot of driving our last couple days - but not stressful intense driving. More like laid-back-stop-and-take-a-picture-or-explore-whenever driving. The sights were incredible, the sunsets beyond description.

Costa Rica is very similar to Thailand.
I have slept very little in the last 10 days.
I love this country.
I want to buy real estate down here, and it’s very affordable.
If I got 6 friends together with 10,000 each, we could own property.
The beaches here are perfect - minus the occasional sun burn.
I can’t help but want to stay.
The Funky Monkey will hold a place in my heart.
I love traveling.
You can do a LOT with 2 days.
I’m impressed more people don’t get killed on the roads.
I’m really tan now.
I’m stoked I’m really tan now.
San Jose is not as warm as the beach.
I love water.
The stars have never looked as clear as they do with companions and a journey.
4am feels like 10pm occasionally.
10pm feels like 4am occasionally.
You can live like a king off $40 a day.
That’s $1200 a month.
My life is largely a result of those around me.
I am so fortunate.
I get on a plane tomorrow.
I am an insomniac.

I’m leaving for Costa Rica in 2 hours, and am pretty excited about it. I mean, who wouldn’t be excited about this?!?
