Somewhere, in the middle of January, Tom wisked me off to Costa Rica. It seems like it may have been a dream. We came back to such massive workloads that it was easy to forget that for hours at a time I had almost no thought in my head except, "look at how gorgeous the ocean is today."
We had a very relaxing visit, barring my sprained ankle and the incessant mosquito bites. Everyone wants to know what we did and although we did have some serious play time, we spent a lot of time lying by the pool or playing in the ocean. We rested. Because we needed it and we knew we had a few hectic months ahead where there would be little or no rest and very little time together.
But here are a few pics of our visit.
I loved the thrill of the canopy ride but this wall freaked me out a tad.
The resort
I know you are wondering about the pic of the John but Tom and I thought it was hilarious that there was this pic of the brahma bull greeting us in the bathroom every day. These white cows are everywhere in Costa Rica. I just didn't expect to have one staring at me in the bathroom.
My first zip.One day we had an all out adventure that included zip lines, rock climbing, horseback riding, a sprained ankle, a trip down the rapids in an inner tube and a mud spa treatment at the hot springs (the mud spa was a little wierd. But hey we did it and now we never feel the need to coat ourselves in lava mud again.).
We saw a few wild animals, including this porcupine at the resort. We spotted a few monkeys in trees too.
We had some questionable Costa Rican meals (Okay I had a questionable meal)
We had some good meals too.
