Costa Rica!

Susan and I just got back from a great trip to Costa Rica, we decided to go with my parents which turned out to be very fun. The first night we spent in San Jose, then next morning we picked up the car and then got my parents at the airport and headed up into the mountains. We stayed at a farm the next night at 8,000 feet in little cabins. The farm is know for a rare birs called a Quetsal which we got to see on a guided hike in the morning. The next day we headed down to the little beach town of Dominical on the Pacific coast. We rented a house for the week about 700 feet above the beach in the jungle. The wildlife and birdwatching was great right from the house, monkeys, toucans, and parrots would come by. We had a great view of the ocean and sunsets from the patio with our own priviate pool. The town itself was great, a little surfer town with dirt streets and open air resteraunts and bars. We did a lots of excursions throughout the week that left us tired every night, jungle hikes, beach combing, canopy tours with zip lines, fishing, and I even tried my hand at surfing. We have a bunch more pics that I will post in an album soon.
