Spring 2010
Costa Rica - March 20-26
Sunday = Relaxation (after Sat arrival)
Top row: Us on the beach; Wen, Katie, Justin, John relaxing on the pool deck, Justin finishing book 1 in the infinity pool,
lookin in from front door - the dark spots are water pools (the house is called "Casa de Sonitas del Aqua" - "the house of
water sounds") - such an amazing home!
Bottom row: the back of the house looking up from under the pool water, Justin livin it up, a view from our room
Monday = Rainforest Canopy Ziplines
Our group (Wen, Byron, Jess & John, Justin & Katie) powered down over 12 ziplines and
one repel - over, in, and under the rainforest canopy.  Such a blast!  Later that night, we
went to a spectactular dinner feast, followed by drinks in a downed aircraft,(C-123?) and
dancing.
Tuesday = Quepos/Manuel Antonio ATV Tour
Motoring through mountains, farmland, rivers, streams, rainforest, a palm tree plantation, taking a dip in the
waterfall, and jumping off a rock (no pic), finding teak trees with the "henna" leaves - all while soaking our group
shirts :)
Wednesday = Snorkeling in the Pacific
It was a sunset dinner snorkeling cruise, so we spend the first part of the day relaxing at the house with our
resident monkeys (top left) and shopping in Quepos downtown.  Off our catamaran, water was low-vis, but we did
see a school of Sergeant Majors and our house from our snorkeling locale. Finished the night with a 1/4mi walk up
to Ronny's restaurant for some of the best Sangria in the world! (Wen, Byron left this morning)
Thursday = Waterfall Climbing, Repeling - and Monkey Drop
John & Jess, Justin & Katie tackled the 90ft waterfall and the 45ft "monkey drop".  Hardcore people.  (Friday we
journeyed back home.)  Best vacation ever! (so far ;)
