Costa Rica was amazing! I miss it already. The weather was much nicer there than it is here. The flight there wasn't too bad. It took about 5 hours. We got to the hotel/resort at 7am and the receptionist was extremely rude! "No rooms available until 3pm". WHAT. What are we supposed to do for 8 hours? "I guess you have to find something to do". There was no welcome, no orientation, NOTHING. She finally told us we could have breakfast there so we did. The place is huge so we had to take small shuttles to different areas there. We ate and pretty much did nothing but walk around until my mom complained and they gave us a room to "relax" in. After that first day everything went well. We did a lot of activities and just really had a great time.

What i did!
-Zip lining through the jungle
-1600 ft. waterslide down the mountain
-Horseback riding through the mountain
-Mud bath
-Hot water springs
-Hiking through Rincon de la Vieja and seeing fumaroles
-Boat ride through the river and seeing monkeys, birds, crocs, etc. etc. etc.
-Snorkeling in several spots in the Pacific Ocean
-Lots of eating (i seriously ate rice and beans with every single meal)
-Watch the Lakers get massacred by the Celtics (saddest game EVER)
-2 Yoga classes that they offered there. One class was just me and the teacher. Private lessons!
-Hung out at the wet bar

I have a bajillion pictures that i will post later!
