Sarah and I decided after breakfast that we wanted to spend the day seeing as many beaches as we could since the weather was perfect.  So, our first stop twenty minutes away from Playa de Jaco was Playa de Hermosa.  It is apparently the best surfing beach in Costa Rica.  As …

Today was the our last day in Manuel Antonio. So we decided to just hang out at the beach.  There is only one problem with that. I can usually only lay out on a beach for about 2hrs before I have to get up and do something. So after about 2hrs I informed Eric I was going to walk down the beach…

I went on GAP Adventures' "Costa Rica Quest" trip for spring break this year. Here are some pictures! ¡Pura vida!

Manuel Antonio was great.  The park was amazing and you could easily spend 3-4 days just wandering around in there.  I spent a day on the beach going to the shops and laying out, two days in the park, and some time in Quepos.  Staying in Quepos was much cheaper than staying in Manuel…

Surface intervals can sometimes be just as much fun as the dives themselves. We had recently had a humpback mother and calf hanging in the area but they had not been seen for a couple of weeks. hanging out after a dive we spot a whale about 150 ft away. Moving slowly in their direction looking hope…

Costa Rica, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru

We went to Quepos and Manuel Antonio for a week of sunning, zip lining, hiking, and sight seeing.

Left the heat of Vegas to explore Costa Rica!

Vacationing in Manuel Antonio was pretty spectacular. Shannon, Carey and I arrived on Sunday evening after a four-hour drive on windy roads in the mountains in a torrential downpour, but we made it nonetheless. Jaime and Shaina met us there the next day. Apparently it rains every afternoon/evening …

some nice pictures of Costa Rica

Pictures can usually tell a thousand words. Well my pictures are pretty tame compared to my amazing, wild and crazy adventure. Forget about the saying what happens is Vegas stays in Vegas...Revise that to what happens in Costa Rica stays in Costa Rica! Check out the photos, tell me what ya think, ask away, and I'll write more later on...right now I have to finish packing for my next trip!

This morning started at 7:55 am for a 4 and 1/2 hour bus trip to Manuel Antonio! It was an interbus which was only $35 U.S. dollars and only 2 other people riding in a mini-van sort of vehicle. Between the twisty, bumpy roads and the vehicle, the ride was not very smooth. We stopped at San Ramon fo…
