Nestled beneath the active peak of Volcan Arenal, La Fortuna was a small agricutural town before the eruption of the volcano in 1968. The death of 100 people and the destruction of lands at first led to many residents leaving. However, over the course of the next few decades, the volcano's on-going eruptions drew an increasing number of thrill-seeking tourists. Today, La Fortuna has grown into a primarily tourism-based town, acting as the base of operations for volcano and nature related activities.

In addition to volcano watching, activities in La Fortuna include trips to nearby hotsprings, ATV and scooter rentals, a picturesque swimming hole, and the beautiful La Fortuna Waterfall.

Now that I have been home a little over 3 months my memories and thoughts of Costa Rica all feel like a dream.  Lately, I have been thinking about the goodbye I said to my host brother Jorge and his wife Amelia.  They had an amazing relationship, 5 kids.  It was always an enjoyable household to visit.  I often would just talk with Amelia over coffee and popcorn about life, her kids, my family.  I hope one day I can be like her.  She was just bad ass, she could fi...

It's a long drive from Puerto Viejo to Arenal. We took the northern route and enjoyed scenery. The first of four police stops we experienced on this route. Tico's love blonds and I suspect they observed D's blond hair as we approached the checkpoint and they promptly waved us over and came to D's side of the car to 'chat'. Jaja, no problem, so after much discussion and laughing and smiling, we were on our way. Lunch we took at a roadside stand with many Tico truck drivers. They wou...
