costa rica - part one - first impression

costa rica was awesome. my first impression was... wow, this place is gorgeous. flowers everywhere. waterfalls coming out of mountains everywhere. the people were so nice. we rented a car and drove around most of the central country and the central pacific coast. 

i couldn't stay in bed if the sun was up (and it came up early!) we mostly stayed at bed & breakfasts and took morning walks to wake our bodies up. we spent a lot of time hiking and a lot of time driving (and kind of fell in love with our rental car, jimney).

first walk of the trip - 5:30 am in san antonio, costa rica.


a hospital that belongs in a wes anderson film.


the BEST sunscreen. seriously... totally obsessed with this sunscreen. olive oil & coco butter. feels great on the skinny.


pretty plants outside our hotel


we were driving in the mountains, through a town called zarcero and saw these faces carved into bushes.  how cool is that? 


more zarcero. smelled like christmas trees.


flowers in zarcero


hydrangeas in zarcero... i was pretty surprised to see so many hydrangeas all over central costa rica. no complaints - love a good hydrangea.


breakfast in punta areanas. 



jon & i on another morning walk


stopped to check out this pretty lake


jon, chasing waterfalls.


me & the waterfalls. my boots were lifesavers! dry feet are happy feet.



 happy to find a brewery! volcano brewing. this place is amazing. all you can eat, drink, tennis, swim & sleep. we just stopped by  for a taste but would love to stay next time around.


more to come!
