Costa Rica

We are (very reluctantly!) settling back into reality after a week in Costa Rica... The pictures kind of speak for themselves:

 

The view of the Arenal Volcano from our resort (Hotel Nayara Arenal)

A typical "Tico" breakfast: Gallos Pintos (black beans and rice, covered in Lizano sauce), fried plantains, sausages and potatoes + papaya juice)

The pool, where we spent a copious amount of time

Latin American passionfruit

Vivid flora

Crashing waterfalls and hot springs

Ziplining through the rainforest

 

Drinking beer

More eating (+ yucca fries!)

At the pool again (this time at our 2nd resort, Finca Rosa Blanca)

Learning about coffee

Staring at spiders

And, well, eating. This time, cassado, another traditional dish

Pura vida.
