For my graduation present to myself I took 3 and a half weeks off to go to Costa Rica. A friend from work told me she has always wanted to go there so I invited her along for the ride. Our trip was AMAZING. We ended up spending some time in Nicaragua as well. Erica is a very animal/nature person so she cooked up a lot of stuff to do in the jungles in the north. We hiked two volcanoes (one in Costa Rica and one in Nicaragua), saw a ton of wildlife (no sloths though...), drove on the most dangerous roads I have ever seen, watched los tortugas lay their eggs and laughed the whole way. Erica was the navigator. Auriel will be surprised to hear that because she knows I am a map hog. However, I was less timid on the horrible roads and I wanted to get to places fast so I did most of the driving. We avoided Tamarindo and places like that because we wanted to avoid teenie boppers in bikinis and guys looking for their next exotic makeout. We met so many interesting people in both countries and have a lot of fun stories that we brought back. Enjoy the photos!
