Costa Rica 2016

Remarkable Costa Rica with Jerel & Stephanie 
January 18th - 23rd



We landed late at night, drove the rental car several hours,
and got bad GPS directions.  Finally, we ended up here: 

The following morning we toured the tropical property and found this mud bath.

Later we ventured out to:

 This is the peek-a-boo Arenal Volcano that hid 
behind the clouds the entire time of our visit.




Each meal was SOOO good.  Yet nothing beat a dessert run for ice cream.



Adventure highlights included:

Our first time canyoneering, or rappelling down a series of waterfalls 
with the added excitement of sitting through a 'water avalanche'.

 






No photos are available for the biggest adrenaline rush of my life...
the Tarzan swing...but here are 3 videos I found on YouTube.
It was both terrifying and terrific!!!  Sooo fun!

It was a real treat to travel at the invitation of the Bullocks.

Pura Vida!
POO-rah VEE-dah, in English means, "Pure Life"
