Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a beautiful country! I got the wonderful opportunity to visit recently and it was an amazing experience. The scenery of the tropical environment is gorgeous, and the people there are so friendly! Thought I might share some pictures with you all of the amazing time I had there:

Here is a view of San Jose - the picture was taken right outside the city. Throughout the country, it was very cloudy like this

Here is Arenal Volcano, which is further north in the country. It is currently a dormant volcano, but it has erupted as recently as 2008. Note that these photos were taken within 10 minutes of each other. The fog cleared up fast!

Here is Lake Arenal, which is right near the volcano:

While I was there, I also saw fascinating plants and animals. Here are some:

Anyway, in summary, what a nice country! There were so many more pictures and memories, but I wanted to sum this up. I can't wait to go back, and I highly recommend that you go there as well! I would be happy to answer any questions in the comments. Also in the comments section, please share what country you have been to that you have really enjoyed. I would love to hear!
