Costa Rica fun

my last post i was a bit lonely and feeling the itch to leave and my response was to hop on a bus the next morning to La Fortuna with a few other travelers. it was a day of travel across the Costa Rica country-side and it resulted in a new region and a new perspective. Watching an active volcano spew lava and gases will give you lots to think about and after today's adventures in the canopy of Monteverde i am feeling pretty good. Costa Rica is certainly the "vacation" part of my trip...where else will i spend money to zipline over/through rainforests at the height of 1,000 meters? or go horseback riding through rainforests and coffee fincas? or even walk across thin suspension bridges in the cloud-rainforests? good times!

also, new friends are always much appreciated and i have met some great people the past few days. of course we meet spend a day or two together and go our separate ways but sometimes that is all it takes to enjoy the moment or start a lifelong friendship. Speaking of friendship, thanks to all the friends and family who have made comments on the blog or via email...i really love hearing from you!!!

off to plan tomorrow's adventures...pura vida!
