Wow! What a trip!
Costa Rica is beautiful. I was really impressed how helpful and friendly the people were. With my "broken" espa�ol and alittle sign language I was able to communicate. Of course, having my brother with us helped a whole lot. He has managed to remember the Spanish that he learned in school.
The roads are quite a trip. They are like the back roads up into the mountains. Some are paved, most are not. The road to the house was a twisty curvy dirt road that would start running with water when it rained. One side was mountain, the other side was cliff. Quite exciting.
The beaches were beautiful and the water was quite warm. Quite a change from the beaches in San Diego where we normally go.
The food was unbelievable. We had camarones (shrimp), langosta (lobster), pollo (chicken) and of course, margaritas. The price was right! I think the most expensive lobster was 9500 colones which is about $20. That was for more food than we could eat. It was Hubby's paradise.
The best part of the trip was the Congo Canopy Tour.
It was a zip line thru the tropical canopy of trees. We traversed somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 zip lines of varying lengths and highs. Some were even brave enough to do it upside down. (I wasn't one of them) There were also suspension bridges that we had to cross. We were flying like the monkeys for almost 2 hours. The cost: $35 Best money spent.
We had rain - thunder - sunshine - humidity - food - drink - down time - swim time - more food time - nap time - it was awesome.
I would highly recommend Costa Rica. We will be going back.
