Costa Rica Rules!

  Costa Rica Rules!

Hey!  We are in La Fortuna at the San Bosco hotel, and having the TIME
OF OUR LIVES!  We have only been in Costa Rica for abou two days so
far, but it seems like we have done so much already and had a little
time to relax too!

The flights were tolerable, and we got to meet this cool kid from Costa
Rica named Sebastian who sat next to us on our flight from Florida to
San Jose.  After Meagan gave him some snacks, he decided that we were
friendlies and talked to us for at least an hour.  I think that he told
us just about everything in English that he knew how to say, including
a nice little song about every member of his family that must have
taken at least 10 minutes to sing =)

Last night we were in San JOse at the Pura Vida Hotel, a quaint little
place with lots of natural beauty run by a cute couple from Santa Cruz,
CA.  Bernie, the English hotel owner, gave us a bottle of wine as a
honeymmon present -- how cool is that?

We got to have traditional Costa Rican food, which is super delicious,
and last night, after travelling to the town of La Fotruna by the
Arenal Volcano, we got to spend the eventing at a Hot Springs which was
way sweeter than I would have imagined it could be.  There were about
20 different pools to swim in with waterfalls and giant Jacuzi jets.
Some of the pools were too hot to even go into.  It was
very...honeymoonesque; we really feel like we are on vacation now. This
is great!

Today we travel to the Arenal Observatory Lodge, where we should have a
really sweet room and a perfect view of the volcano, as long as the
weather is clear.  Nonstop excitement.

The whole marriage thing is really starting to sink in now, and it is a good feeling.  We are both really happy =)
