Beyond Words: Costa Rica

"Beyond Words" is a post that is mainly a collection of photos. A short description is provided but the visual experience is the main purpose. Enjoy!

From Nicaragua, Rachel and I had only five days to spend in Costa Rica because we were meeting a friend in Panama City on a set date. Therefore, we picked two spots to spend our time – Monteverde and Jaco. In Monteverde, I wanted to go zip lining (a “must-do” on my travel list) and we both wanted to explore the Cloud Forest National Park. In Jaco, Rachel had a friend, Wendy, who was renting a house for three months and had invited us to come and stay with her.

Costa Rice ended up being an unforgettable experience in so many ways! While zip lining, I felt like I was flying and kept thinking, “I’m actually doing this!” and then whooping at the top of my lungs. So much fun! The Cloud Forest hike was good for the body and the senses – it was awe-inspiring. And then there was the time we spent with Wendy. You know those people who have traveled all over the world, succeeded in business, lead their personal lives according to their own rules, AND are captivating storytellers? Well, that is a brief description of Wendy. Her, Rachel, and I spent two days relaxing, talking, eating, talking, swimming, and more talking. Her stories and advice made me think and gave me such inspiration. I left Costa Rica with a new zest and excitement for the remainder of my trip!
