Want to go back!

Husband and I spent 2 weeks in Costa Rica in January. We were mostly at a small orchard near San Isidro de El General, with day trips to the Pacific coast for snorkling/dolphin watching, zip lines, etc.

We also spent a day in San Jose (the zoo is quite nice), and did a day trip to Arenal Volcano (didn’t see any lava, but the hike through the rainforest park with the hanging bridges the next morning was worth the trip!)

I absolutely loved Costa Rica, and I want to go back!

Why I want to go to this place

I’ve been told it’s very nice. I think I should go there, knock up a nice, Catholic Latina girl who knows her place, and learn to speak Spanish.

Then send a nice flip of the bird to the millions of stuck-up, self-centered white North American women!! LOL

A tip I have about this place

DO NOT RELY ON STREET SIGNS. Okay, seriously. Costa Rica is gorgeous. But if you want to go somewhere, learn how to ask directions in Spanish. Also needed: The ability to understand the directions given to you in Spanish. Plus, nobody really pays attention to the stop signs and lights and such. And I don’t know about everywhere else, but there was one road feature I had never seen before, and my family called it the ‘suicide lane’. There was sometimes a lane in the middle of certain roads that was an either/or lane. At say, 1pm-4pm, the southbound traffic could use that lane. Then, from 5pm-8pm, northbound had access. Weird. And also, if you need something, go to Hiper Mas. It’s their Wal*mart.

In and Out

Costa Rica was the final stop on our Central American trek. Unfortunately, we had to cut our visit short due to some family issues back home, so I would love to come back again one day. We did have the best meal of the whole trip in San Jose, though :)
