Day 7 The Beach!

What can I say today. Paradise! The pics speak for themselves!

We start our day with the Costa Rican traditional breakfast, which includes "Gallo Pinto"(rice and bean mix), fresh squeezed juices such as weatermelon, blackberry, guanabana and mango.We have enjoyed meats, fish, fresh soups and salads made with locally grown ingredients.We will keep updating the food pictures as we continue our trip.

Top dishes:
Sirloin with a strawberry sauce
Gallo Pinto
Arroz con pollo
Tilapia fish
Mora and Guanabana juice

Día 6 - traveling to the beach!

¡hola!,
We are in Manuel Antonio National Park. It took us about 5 hours to get here from Monte Verde,due to a flat tire, a quick stop to see crocs in the wild and the Costa Rican "Oh my God roads"! The kids spent the afernoon in the beautiful crystal blue beach, and did a little bargaining at the local tent market. Right now they are in the hotel pool enjoying the beautiful warm night. Tomorrow we head inside the national park to see more wildlife and even more incredible picturesque beaches! Surfing tomorrow!

Día 5

¡Buenas tardes!

Today was a fun day! Ziplining and suspension bridges plus a rematch soccer game this afternoon or tonight. Pure adrenaline today or as it´s said in Costa Rica,"Pura Vida", which is like saying everything is great!
Everyone made it down safely in one piece.There were 15 ziplines with the last one being 1 kilometer in lenght, which they claim is the longest line in the world! In addition some of the kids did the crazy Tarzan swing. Of course, I will post pics and videos! Check them out!

¡Pura vida!

P.S. We have posted the infamous Dakota Video from our third day. We have also posted more rafting photos from day 2! Visit the new posts!

Día 4 - Monte Verde

¡Buenos días!
This morning we went horseback riding! It was a beautiful ride, a little painful but worth it! Later we drove to Monte Verde ( a town started by Quakers from the U.S in the 50's, and later invaded by hippies in the 60's and 70's) where we have just eaten at a nice restaurant, had some homemade ice cream, bought some of the local 5 star coffee, and now I am sitting in a cyber cafe in town while the kids are going through the local souvenir shops.

I had a little trouble uploading some of the videos yesterday but I will try again from this cafe and hopefully add some of the horsebacking vids too!

Tomorrow it's suspesion bridges and ziplining! Don't forget to click on the pictures to increase the size!
